Why is it important?
Patients with synchronous cancers have better prognosis than those with single disseminated cancer. Their detection in a relatively early stage suggests diagnosis may be facilitated by early symptoms from the endometrial carcinoma, and that these lesions are biologically of relatively low grade.
Perspectives
Synchronous malignancies in the female genital tract are very rare entities (0.5-1.7%). Synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancers (SEOC) are the most common, with a frequency of 5% for primary endometrial tumors and 10% for primary ovarian tumors [1].
