An Unusual Occurrence of Multiple Metachronous and Synchronous Primary Cancers in a Female Patient

Multiple primary cancers, although uncommon, have been increasing in incidence in recent years. This trend is likely due to advances in factors such as diagnostic imaging, life expectancy, and interventional modalities with associated adverse effects. The patient presented in this case report is a 5...
