The study found an elevated risk of secondary primary malignancy in patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Specific sites had higher risks, especially in the age group of 55-75 and all subgroups of sex, race, and latency. Patients with distant metastasis and those not undergoing surgery for the first tumor were associated with a significantly elevated risk of developing secondary primary malignancy.
Background: A population-based analysis of the risk of secondary primary malignancy (SPM) in patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) has been lacking in the literature. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the risk factors and assess the effects of SPM on the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with HPC. Methods: Data on selected patients diagnosed with HPC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database between 1973 and 2015 were examined through logistic regression, Cox regression and nomogram methods. Results: The overall risk of SPM in patients with HPC was higher than that in the general population (SIR: 2.77; P < 0.05). The specific-site, including the oral cavity, pharynx, digestive system, respiratory system and endocrine system, had a relatively higher risk of SPM. The overall risks of the subgroup of people 55-75 years of age and all subgroups of sex, race and latency were significantly elevated. In addition, patients with HPC were more likely to have been diagnosed in 2010-2015 (vs 2004-2009; P = 0.002), to be unmarried (vs married; P = 0.008), to have distant metastasis (vs no metastasis; P = 0.016) and to have had no surgery for the first tumor (vs surgery for the first tumor; P = 0.021), and these aspects were associated with a significantly elevated risk of developing SPM. SPM was independently associated with better OS and CSS. The OS and CSS in patients with HPC with SPM were better than those in patients without SPM (log rank P < 0.0001). The C indexes of the nomogram constructed with ten influencing factors including SPM were 0.681:0.699 for OS and 0.705:0.724 for CSS (training cohort:validation cohort). Conclusion: Although the overall risk of SPM in patients with HPC was elevated, SPM did not decrease the OS and CSS in patients with HPC. This finding is inconsistent with clinical observations and thus requires further research and exploration. It possibly because HPC might have a shorter survival time, or the follow-up time was not long enough.
