Therefore, patients with oral cancer have routinely undergone "panendoscopy" consisting of direct laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and esophagoscopy. Recent studies indicate increasing n...
متن کاملSynchronous second primary tumors in 2,016 head and neck cancer patients: role of symptom-directed panendoscopy.

Outside of the setting of PP, this finding is exceedingly rare and there are no documented reports of two primary processes causing carcinomatosis in the absence of PP. Here, we present a patient who underwent cytoreductive surge...
