Mowery A, et al. - Researchers examined if an association exist between prior hematologic malignant tumors and risk of head and neck cancer. In addition, they investigated the overall survival among these patients. For this retrospective analysis, they identified 30,939,656 patients with diagnoses of hematologic malignant tumors and head and neck cancers using the Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse. Observations revealed a higher risk of developing head and neck cancers among patients with hematologic malignant tumors. Patients with head and neck cancer and a history of hematologic malignant tumors may have overall worse survival.
