Exploring the association between prior cancer history and risk of head and neck cancer: insights from a multi-centre retrospective case–control study
The findings suggest that previous cancer diagnoses, especially SCC, may predispose individuals to head and neck cancer, challenging the traditional focus on tobacco, alcohol and human papillomavirus as primary risk factors. These results underscore the need for incorporating prior cancer history into risk assessment protocols and surveillance strategies to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
