[Development of second primary malignant neoplasms in patients treated for laryngeal cancer in the Otolaryngology Clinic of the University School of Medical Sciences in Poznan 1981-1999].
Second malignancies are the important cause shorting survival of patients with laryngeal cancer. We noted 51 patients with second malignant neoplasm after treatment for laryngeal cancer. The incidence of second neoplasms in lung, next in tonsils and the incidence of cancer of skin was the highest. Early detection of precancerous lesions would correct the prevention against second malignancies and by this way--correct the survival among patients with laryngeal cancer. The rate of incidence of the second primary tumors among patients after total laryngectomy with radiotherapy was 2.9%.
