Abstract
Multiple malignancies occurred in 7.5 per cent of 1,919 patients with head and neck
cancer.
In 64 per cent of patients the two cancers were diagnosed within twenty-four months
of each other.
Multiple malignancies occurred most frequently in patients with head and neck skin
cancer.
The most commonly encountered additional malignancy was another cancer of the head
and neck.
The three year survival of patients after treatment of a second primary malignancy
was 21 per cent and the five year survival 9 per cent.
