Abstract
Cancer is a serious health problem worldwide, being responsible from ¼ of all deaths. Cancers developing from more than one origin are called multiple primary cancers (MPCs) and is a rare entity with a reported frequency of 0.73%–11%. There are no guidelines for the management of synchronous tumours. Because of this, development of patient-oriented treatment strategy is necessary to decide which cancer to treat rst and how to stratify further treatments. We present a case with synchronous sporadic breast and colon cancer. If adjuvant therapy is required, it should be directed towards the tumour with the more advanced stage. The prognosis of synchronous tumours depends on each tumour stage independently
