Personal and family history in a cohort of older UPSC patients identified an excess of second primary cancers, and these patients displayed a shorter CSS. Comprehensive germline and tumor mutation analysis might identify optimal candidates for various targeted agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and ultimately improve survival. This may represent an unmet need in the UPSC patients, and further studies are needed to confirm the significance of our findings.
