ObjectiveTo evaluate risk factors and prognosis for multiple synchronous primary cancers (MSPCs) associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Study DesignThe retrospective study included 1623 patients.ResultsThe most common MSPC site involved was the head and neck region. The presence of multiple oral dysplastic lesions (P < .001) was the sole risk factor for the occurrence of MSPCs. A multivariate survival analysis showed that the pathologic grade (P = .003) was an independent predictive factor for the 5-year disease-specific survival of patients with MSPCs. A Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year disease-specific survival of patients who developed MSPCs was worse than that of patients who did not develop MSPCs (P = .020).ConclusionsMSPCs are a significant negative prognostic factor for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. However, a worse prognosis is predicted for patients with MSPCs with several features: a higher pathologic grade, a more aggressive growth pattern, male gender plus a tobacco or alcohol habit, and no multiple oral dysplastic lesions.
