Patient has four primary cancers diagnosed in two months
The Danish woman presented with postmenopausal bleeding, but an observant GP helped kick-start investigations that led to the quadruple findings
Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a terrible blow, but for one patient the hits kept on coming, after she was diagnosed with four separate primary cancers within two months, in a landmark case involving an observant GP.
Doctors from Denmark are reporting the “extremely rare” case of a 70-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma, invasive ductal cell carcinoma metastasis, melanoma and multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs).
