Prognosis of second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma after hematologic malignancy: a retrospective cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Prognosis and optimal management strategies of second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) following a history of hematologic malignancies (HM) remain uncertain. We investigated whether HM history affects OSCC outcomes or necessitates treatment modifications.

Patients and methods

This retrospective cohort study included 2486 OSCC patients: 14 with OSCC as a second primary malignancy post-HM (SPM group) and 2472 with primary OSCC (non-SPM group). Using propensity score matching (PSM), we created two cohorts: 1:17 (13 SPM vs 232 non-SPM) and 1:3 (13 SPM vs 38 non-SPM). Outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS). Survival differences were analyzed using log-rank tests. Multivariate Cox regression iden
