Radiation therapy for sinus malignancies

Abstract

Primary tumors arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses usually are considered together. Except in the nasal cavity, where occasional lesions present early because of nasal obstruction, most lesions are advanced at presentation, and the exact site of origin may be uncertain. Radiation therapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery in the management of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of these sites.
