Second primary head and neck cancer after Hodgkin lymphoma: A population‐based study of 44,879 survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract

There is a significantly increased risk of salivary and nonsalivary HNC after HL, and worse survival for patients with HL-SCC versus those with a first primary SCC. Clinicians should be aware of the risks of HNC after HL. In the absence of evidence-based criteria, the authors recommend that survivors of HL undergo periodic head and neck examination.
