Abstract

The increasing effectiveness of cancer therapies and the improvement of diagnostic tools have led to better survival rates among cancer patients. This situation has made the problem of developing subse-quent primary tumours more frequent. In our case we discuss about a 70 year old female with three differ-ent primary malignancies. Occurrence of malignancy of the cervix, rectum and bladder is very rare.

Key words: Triple malignancies, Bladder carcinoma, Cervical carcinoma, Rectal carcinoma
