“…No case of lung cancer antedating laryngeal cancer was found in our study and only one case of an oral cavity tumour was seen following this malignancy. Rubenstein et al (1958) have stated that despite the recognized occurrence of laryngeal and bronchial cancer, the latter 'almost never' precedes laryngeal carcinoma. Temeck et al (1984) followed 118 10year survivors of a group of 4732 lung cancer patients.…”

Synchronous or metachronous second primary malignancies of the lung are sometimes encountered in patients with laryngeal cancer while the occurrence of a laryngeal second primary following cancer of the lung is rare.A two-armed study was conducted. A prospective arm in which the larynges of 56 terminal lung cancer patients were examined, and a retrospective arm incorporating both a chart study of 126 terminal head and neck cancer patients (HNCP) and a computerized search of all hospital records of patients with laryngeal and lung cancers. No laryngeal malignancy was found in the lung cancer patients' group and no antedating pulmonary malignancy was recorded in the terminal HNCP. The computerized search of 1778 lung cancer patients and 213 laryngeal cancer patients also failed to demonstrate cases where the former preceded the latter.In conclusion. No second primary of the larynx was found in lung cancer patients. These results compare with reports of large databases where cancer of the larynx was found in a negligible percentage of lung cancer survivors and theories explaining this are discussed.

“…When the two tumours are concurrent, and there is no contraindication to surgery, the more lethal of the two, that is, pulmonary cancer, must be excised first (preliminary tracheostomy before thoracotomy is advised so as to avoid passing an endotracheal tube during anaesthesia that might cause post-operative laryngeal oedema) (38). It must be emphasized that the histological type of a lung tumour is important not only for the prognosis but also for the choice of treatment (40).…”

The present paper reports 21 cases (14 autopsies and 7 biopsies) of associated primary cancers of the larynx and the lung. This association is by no means uncommon, the laryngeal lesion being usually the first to appear. Multiple primary cancers – of the same or of a different histologic type – tend to occur in the same organ or organ system, either simultaneously or after a time interval. In case of synchronous primary malignant tumour of the larynx and lung, the most lethal cancer (the lung cancer) must be managed first. Cancer patients are more likely than other individuals to develop a second primary malignant tumour. Laryngectomized patients should be followed-up possibly by means of cytologic examinations of bronchial secretions and chest X-rays at short intervals for early detection of a possible second primary malignant pulmonary lesion.
