Detection of synchronous lung tumors in patients presenting with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Screening for synchronous pulmonary tumors in patients presenting with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is important, because detection may alter subsequent management.
