Abstract
BACKGROUND
Although the occurrence of multiple primary cancers (MPC) is not exceedingly common, it is not rare in clinical practice. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in its incidence. The frequent confusion between MPC and tumor metastasis or recurrence often leads to delays in diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to enhance understanding of MPC, improve diagnostic accuracy, guide precise clinical treatment, and implement a case management nursing model (CMNM) to facilitate quick patient recovery.
CASE SUMMARY
A 61-year-old female patient presented with persistent upper abdominal pain lasting over 2 months. Gastroscopy revealed the presence of both gastric and duodenal cancers. Following a thorough evaluation, the patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, cholecystectomy, and total gastrectomy. Post-surgery, an individualized case management nursing approach was applied, leading to a successful recovery. Three months after the surgery, follow-up examinations showed no signs of recurrence.
CONCLUSION
The CMNM effectively promoted rapid patient recovery, enhanced the quality of orthopedic nursing services, and accelerated postoperative recovery, ultimately leading to increased patient satisfaction with nursing care.
Core Tip: Accurate diagnosis of multiple primary cancers, coupled with multidisciplinary collaboration to formulate tailored diagnosis and treatment plans and the implementation of individualized patient care, significantly contributed to rapid recovery and favorable prognosis.
