Abstract
MT affects survival. Risk factors include older age, male sex, multiple tumor locations, use of chemotherapy alone, and presence of residual disease. Our finding that initial interventions could affect the rate of MT is provocative, but these data should be validated using data from prospective trials. In addition to improving survival, future therapeutic efforts should focus on preventing MT.
