Oral cancer in patients after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation: long-term follow-up suggests an increased risk for recurrence.

Patients after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) are at a higher risk for oral cancer (1). There is sparse information about this patient population because most of the publications were case reports (2–8). In addition, most of these reports mainly describe the diagnosis and early perio
