Abstract
The present study investigates 1085 previously untreated patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck for factors that influence recurrence following treatment with definitive radiotherapy. In the second part of this study, those diagnosed with recurrence were studied with regard to treatment and were further analysed with regard to identification of prognostic factors which may affect outcome in the patient who actually develops a recurrence.
