Abstract
Distant metastasis is a poor prognostic factor in recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, limited information on the prognostic impact of locoregional disease is available, despite its life-threatening features. We investigated the prognostic impact of incurable locoregional disease and distant metastasis in recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.Keywords
