Abstract
The data of a total of 82 patients with malignancies of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses who were initially treated at the University of Tsukuba Hospital between 2002 and 2011 were reviewed. The mean age (±standard deviation) was 63.1 (±14.6) years, and the male-female ratio was 2.73: 1. The tumor originated from the maxiallry sinus in 40 cases (48.8%), from the nasal cavity in 28 cases (34.1%), from the ethmoid sinus in 9 cases (11.0%), and from other sinuses in 5 cases (6.1%).
At our department, treatment for maxillary cancer is initiated with chemoradiotherapy concurrently with intraarterial infusion of fluorouracil, followed by planned surgery for appropriate candidates. The disease-specific 5-year survival rate was 57.0% in our series of patients with maxillary cancer.
Malignancies of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses may present with diverse clinical features and further investigation is needed to establish appropriate treatment strategies for individual cases.
