ABSTRACT
Over the last decades, a constant increase in the incidence of multiple cancers has been observed. Consequently, early detection and accurate characterization of lesions that develop during the follow-up period are essential.
The authors describe the case of a 69-year-old woman treated for two metastatic cancers: colorectal and breast. Appropriate use of the imaging and pathological examinations permitted optimal systemic treatment, improved her condition, and enhanced the patient's and clinician's satisfaction.
