Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the development of second primary lung malignancies (SPLMs) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and found that 8% of HNSCC patients later developed SPLMs.
- The study used data from a large cancer database spanning multiple decades to calculate the risk of lung cancer in these patients and identified specific head and neck sites that had higher risks for lung cancer.
- Results showed that lung cancers following HNSCC were predominantly squamous cell carcinoma, with variations in histology based on the primary head and neck tumor site, indicating distinct risk factors and potential underlying causes.
