    Abstract:
    The incidence of associated synchronous or heterochronous malignant tumors in this series was 3.3% (21/633). These patients were found more in multiple cancer than single cancer of the stomach. A relatively high incidence of associated cancer of other organs was found with cancer of the large bowel and of the cervix in heterochronous cancer and cancer of the esophagus in synchronous tumors. The cumulative corrected 10-year survival rate of 15 cases of heterochronous tumors was 85.7%. On the other hand, six patients with synchronous tumor had more advanced cancer of other organs than gastric cancer, and four of them died due to cancer of other organs within two years. Both primaries should be found at the early stage and treated with curative surgery and/or radiotherapy.
