Popis:	Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of simultaneous second primary tumor (SPT) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. The survival of patients with simultaneous SPT was also compared with patients without. Methods The presence of SPT was documented along with the patients' demographic data, tumor-related features, and survival status. Kaplan–Meier method was used for survival analysis. Relevant factors influencing the survival were examined by the Cox proportional hazard model. Results A total of 897 patients' medical records were obtained. Among them, 43 patients (4.8%) had simultaneous SPT and their prognosis was poorer than that of patients without. The Cox proportional hazard model revealed that patients with simultaneous SPT tended to have a higher probability of death (relative risk [RR], 1.694; p = .015). Conclusions Simultaneous SPT is an independent prognostic factor for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Those with simultaneous SPT have poorer survival when compared to those without. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 35: 1801–1807, 2013
