Multiple carcinomas following therapy for Hodgkin disease. [Sensitizing effects of subsequent chemotherapy]

Journal Article · · J. Surg. Oncol.; (United States)
A 52-year-old man developed synchronous squamous-cell carcinoma of the larynx and middle one-third of the esophagus following treatment for Hodgkin disease. This patient fell into the subgroup of patients treated by intensive radiation therapy followed by intensive chemotherapy. The link between the therapy and subsequent carcinoma is suggestive. Long-term follow-up care of patients with Hodgkin disease demands continuing evaluation for this possible complication.
