Abstract
In an attempt to define the true frequency of multiple primary squamouscell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract, 3 separate population groups were studied. The results of this investigation confirmed the high incidence of multicentric carcinomas in the upper aerodigestive tract, lung, and esophagus. The clinical significance of this phenomenon is discussed, particularly its effect on patient survival and its possible relationship to local tumor recurrence. The value of routine panendoscopy in the initial assessment is stressed as well as the need for a lifelong followβup of these patients.

## Abstract ## Background. Accurate histopathologic assessment of neck dissections is of paramount importance. Retrospective analyses of the distribution of lymph node metastases have formed the rationale for elective neck dissection. However, standard techniques for examination of neck dissection
BACKGROUND. Chemoprevention and cessation of smoking and alcohol may prevent development of multiple tumors (MTs) in the aerodigestive tract if new MTs arise independently, but they are of no benefit if MTs are due to migration of an already transformed clone of tumor cells. This issue was addressed
