Second primary malignancies following salivary gland cancers
Summary Four hundred and fifteen males and 367 females who had invasive malignant tumours of the salivary glands as their first cancer diagnosed in Connecticut between 1935 and 1978 were identified and followed 2342 and 2868 person-years respectively. Overall a slight excess of second primary cancer...
