Long-term survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after bone marrow transplant.

Purpose: The risk of developing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in patients with graft versus host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplant (BMT) is well established but large series reporting outcomes are sparse.

Methods: Retrospective, single institution, study of patients with GVHD and HNSCC after BMT, between January 1, 1968, and June 30, 2016.

Results: In total, 25 patients were studied, of which 21 (84%) were male and 4 (16%) were female.
