Background. One of the reasons for failure in patients with head and neck carcinoma who achieve locoregional control with treatment is the appearance of distant metastases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of distant metastases in this group of patients and to determine the

## Background: The recognition of risk factors for the development of distant metastasis is necessary for identifying high-risk patients who may benefit from systemic therapy. previous investigations studying possible risk factors have been heterogeneous, with patients having varied forms of therap
