| Abstract | Objective: This study evaluated the joint effects of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption on the risk of second primary tumors (SPT) in patients with early-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods: Data are presented for 1181 patients enrolled in a placebo-controlled chemoprevention trial of 13-cis-retinoic acid. Nearly 17% of patients presented with a SPT. The log rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used to examine risk factors for SPT development. Results: After adjusting for the time from the index diagnosis to randomization, age at diagnosis, stage, and site of the primary cancer, the factors that emerged as simultaneous predictors of SPT development were continued smoking and alcohol intake after the index diagnosis. Increased SPT risk was associated with older age (RR = 2.1; 95% CI 1.5–2.8); stage II diagnosis (RR = 1.5; 95% CI 1.1–2.1); index diagnosis of pharyngeal cancer (RR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.1–2.5); current smoking at registration (RR = 2.1; 95% CI 1.3–3.6) and continued alcohol consumption post-diagnosis (RR = 1.3; 95% CI 1.0–1.7). Conclusion: Important associations exist between SPT development and continued smoking and alcohol consumption after treatment for HNSCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
