Abstract
Review of hospital charts of 168 patients surviving two or more years following the diagnosis of cancer and subsequent-examinations of 40 of these patients yielded these observations: (a) Hospital charts were adequate to ascertain the number of second primary neoplasms. Three malignant and eight benign tumors were found, an incidence of 6.5%. (b) The three patients with second malignant neoplasms did not receive chemotherapy and two of three were treated with radiation. (c) Abnormalities other than second neoplasms, which may have been delayed consequences of treatment, were infrequently noted in hospital records, but were subsequently detected on specific examinations.
