## Abstract ## Background. Although meta‐analysis showed that survival improved with concurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced head and neck cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is still unique, because it renders curative surgery feasible for marginally resectable head and neck cancer patients.

## Abstract ## Objectives Second primary tumors (SPTs) have been implicated in poor overall survival (OS) of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Confusion remains regarding their actual incidence and prognostic impact. This study assessed the incidence of SPTs; the SPT diagnostic time
## Abstract ## Background. The impact of posttreatment neck dissection on prolonged feeding tube dependence in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) treated with primary radiation or chemoradiation remains unknown. ## Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using pr
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Assess impact of clinical variables upon survival in patients diagnosed with recurrent head and neck carcinoma and better delineate role of post‐treatment surveillance. ## Methods: Variables including previous tumor site, stage, prior therapy, location of re
