33 Negative Former cigarette; quit 12 yr prior 70 Oropharynx^ 3 1 SP Lung (adenocarcinoma)* Dead without disease

LR, local/regional recurrence; DM, distant metastasis; SP, second primary tumor; yr, year; SCCOP, squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx

*

SP tumor unrelated to original SCCOP based on location (patient 31) or tumor cell histology (patients 32 and 33). Patients 31 and 32 are alive with no evidence of SCCOP recurrence after eight years and 1.5 years of follow-up, respectively. Patient 33 died from the lung adenocarcinoma after four years without evidence of SCCOP recurrence. These three patients were censored at the last follow-up time for statistical analysis of time-to-disease recurrence.
