  https://www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/what-is-nose-cancer.h00-159619434.html

  Nose and sinus cancers occur when cancerous cells form in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. These types of cancers are extremely rare. In fact, less than 5% of all head and neck tumors occur in the nasal cavity and sinuses. […] Early symptoms often mimic those of more common conditions, such as sinus infections and allergies. As a result, these cancers are often misdiagnosed. […] Early nose cancer symptoms include: nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, disturbance of sense of smell, facial pain or pressure. […] Symptoms that could indicate more advanced cancer include: sudden and/or repeated nosebleeds that are severe, swelling or deformity in the cheek, nasal area or around the eye, double vision, blurred vision, bulging eye on one side, unexplained loss of sense of smell, tearing of the eye on one side (tears running down your cheek), loosening of the teeth, bulges on the roof of the mouth or upper jaw. […] If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see an ENT doctor for imaging as well as a biopsy, if needed.

• #8 Sinus and Naval Cavity Cancer — What Are the Symptoms?

  https://www.webmd.com/cancer/sinus-nasal-cavity-cancer

  Sinus and nasal cavity cancer can form as a tumor (or tumors) in two places: the spaces around your nose where mucus is produced, or the space behind your nose where air passes on its way to your lungs. This rare disease has symptoms that are often confused with other common sinus issues. […] There are often no signs of sinus and nasal cavity cancer in the early stages. They tend to develop as your tumor grows. When they do appear, symptoms can look a lot like those of many other sinus-related issues.

They include: ongoing congestion that gets worse, sinus blockage or pressure, nosebleeds, sinus headaches, runny nose, post-nasal drip, numbness or pain in your face, a growth in your nose or mouth or on your face, loosening, pain, or numbness of your teeth, changes in eye pressure or vision, ear pain or pressure.

• #18 What are the Stages of Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Cancer? | American Cancer Society

  https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/nasal-cavity-and-paranasal-sinus-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/staging.html

  After someone is diagnosed with a nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancer, doctors will try to figure out if it has spread, and if so, how far. This process is called staging. The stage of a cancer describes how much cancer is in the body. It helps determine how serious the cancer is and how best to treat it. Doctors also use a cancer’s stage when talking about survival statistics. […] The earliest stage of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers is stage 0, also known as carcinoma in situ (CIS). The other stages range from I (1) through IV (4). Some stages are split further, using capital letters (A, B, etc.). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more. And within a stage, an earlier letter means a lower stage.

  https://healthcare.utah.edu/huntsmancancerinstitute/head-neck-cancer/paranasal-sinus-nasal-cavity-cancer

  Paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer is a disease in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the nose. These are signs of paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer: A lump or sore inside the nose that does not heal […] A lump on the face or roof of the mouth […] Numbness or tingling in the face […] Swelling or other trouble with the eyes, such as double vision or the eyes pointing in different directions […] Blocked sinuses that do not clear, or sinus pressure […] Headaches or pain in the sinus areas […] Pain in the upper teeth, loose teeth, or dentures that no longer fit well […] Pain or pressure in the ear […] A persistent runny nose or nosebleeds. Many other health problems can also cause these signs. If you have any of these signs, see your doctor as soon as possible. Staging is the process that shows whether cancer has spread within or around the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity or to other parts of the body. Cancer spreads in the body in three ways: through tissue, the lymph system, or the blood. These are the stages used for paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer: Stage 0 (carcinoma in situ): Abnormal cells are in the innermost lining of the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, or ethmoid sinus

  https://healthcare.utah.edu/huntsmancancerinstitute/head-neck-cancer/paranasal-sinus-nasal-cavity-cancer

  Stage 1: Cancer has formed in only one area of the mucous membranes of the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, or ethmoid sinus […] Stage 2: Cancer has spread to bone around the maxillary sinus (roof of the mouth and the nose) but not to the back of the maxillary sinus or the base of the skull, or the cancer is in two areas of the nasal cavity or ethmoid sinus […] Stage 3: Cancer has spread to any of these areas: base of skull, eye socket, tissues under the skin, or ethmoid sinuses; or the cancer has spread to one lymph node smaller than 3 centimeters […] Stage 4 (4A, 4B, and 4C): Cancer has spread to other parts of the body or more than one lymph node. When cancer spreads from where it started to another part of the body, it is called metastasis. These metastatic cancer cells are the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if paranasal sinus or nasal cavity cancer spreads to the bone, the cancer cells in the bone are actually paranasal sinus or nasal cavity cancer cells. The disease is metastatic paranasal sinus or nasal cavity cancer, not bone cancer.
