  https://marylandoncology.com/paranasal-sinus-and-nasal-cavity-cancer/

  Paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancers are types of head and neck cancers. Nasal cavity cancers start in the opening behind the nose, while paranasal sinus cancers start in the air-filled spaces in the skull around or near the nose. The nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses filter and moisten the air you breathe, add sound quality to your voice, lighten the weight of your skull, and provide a framework for your face and eyes. This area is lined with a layer of mucus-producing tissue, called the mucosa. Paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancers commonly originate from the cells of the mucosa but can also be formed in bone or cartilage cells. […] The majority of paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancers are found in people who are 55 years old or older. In the US, men are twice as likely to develop these cancers than women. […] Cancer can form from any of the several types of cells in the sinuses and nasal cavity, and each cancer is different. Your physician will tailor your treatment to your specific cancer. Surgery to remove the cancer is often used with other treatments, like radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

• #3 Nasal and Paranasal Tumors: Symptoms, Risk Factors, and Treatment

  https://www.healthline.com/health/nasal-and-paranasal-tumors

  Nasal and paranasal tumors start in and behind your nasal passage. Theyre relatively rare, but prolonged exposure to smoke and other substances like textile dust may increase your risk. […] These tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). Even benign tumors may cause symptoms if they block your nasal cavity or press on nearby structures such as your eye. […] The most common treatment is surgery, but advanced tumors may also need immunotherapy or targeted drug therapy. […] Surgery is the main treatment for early stage cancers. Depending on your stage and subtype, you may also receive: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, removal of your nearby lymph nodes. […] If you have late-stage cancers, your doctor may not be able to completely remove it with surgery. For these cancers, you might receive: targeted therapy drugs, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy.

  https://www.mountsinai.org/locations/skull-base-surgery-center/conditions/paranasal-sinus-sinonasal

  Paranasal sinus tumors refer to either malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are found in this area. These tumors can be further classified into their exact location and the type of cell that comprises this tumor. Both location and cell type can influence the prognosis and type of treatment for the tumor. […] Early diagnosis and multimodality therapy is the key to successful treatment of these tumors. However, because of the location of the tumor, they tend to present as symptoms that are shared with the common cold and other ENT complaints. These include nasal obstruction, ear fullness, nose bleeding, visual changes, headache or facial pain. […] After proper diagnosis, each patient’s case is discussed during a multidisciplinary tumor board, composed of surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists. Surgical treatment includes both open (external-skin incisions) and minimally invasive (without incisions) techniques, depending on the type and location of the tumor.

• #6 Nose and Sinus Cancers | Duke Health

  https://www.dukehealth.org/treatments/cancer/nose-and-sinus-cancers

  Most nasal and paranasal tumors are types of skull base tumors — growths on or near the bones that support the brain. Nasal and paranasal tumors are challenging to treat because they can invade the brain, the eye, and other important nearby structures, like nerves that control your sense of smell and sight. As a result, they can cause a wide range of symptoms like nosebleeds, facial pain, numbness or weakness, trouble breathing through the nose, loss of vision or smell, headaches, and stroke. […] Most nasal and paranasal tumors are treated with a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. However, different types of tumors respond best to certain therapies. We offer a range of treatments to offer you the best option. […] There are two main surgical approaches for nose and sinus cancers. If the tumor isn’t too deep inside the skull, surgeons may be able to reach it through the nostrils using an endoscope — a hollow, flexible tube. Because this technique requires no external incisions, it leaves little or no visible scarring and significantly speeds recovery time. If the tumor can’t be reached endoscopically, your surgeons may use a traditional open incision. This will require a longer hospital stay, around three days.

  Cancers of the maxillary sinus are the most common of the paranasal sinus cancers. Tumours of the ethmoid sinuses, nasal vestibule, and nasal cavity are less common, and tumours of the sphenoid and frontal sinuses are rare. The majority of tumours of the paranasal sinuses present with advanced disease. The cancers grow within the bony confines of the sinuses and often are asymptomatic until they erode and invade adjacent structures. Nodal involvement is infrequent. Metastases from both nasal cavity and paranasal sinus may occur, but most deaths are due to direct extension into vital areas of the skull or loco-regional recurrences. […] The importance of adequate pretreatment evaluation and staging, as well as the need for multidisciplinary pretreatment assessment must be stressed. […] Treatment of tumours of the paranasal sinuses and of the nasal cavity should be planned on an individual basis because of the complexity involved.

  Your treatment will depend on: the position of the cancer, the stage and grade of the cancer, type of cell the cancer started in, your general health. […] Surgery is usually the main treatment for nasal and sinus cancer. If the area is small and has not spread, the surgeon may be able to remove just the tumour and a small margin around it. […] Radiotherapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. Usually, radiotherapy is given after surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. […] Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used if a nasal and sinus cancer has spread or come back after previous treatment. […] After treatment, you will have regular follow-up appointments with your specialist doctor. These may continue for several years.

[…] While some nose and sinus cancers are treated primarily with surgery, followed by radiation and sometimes chemotherapy or immunotherapy, other cancers are treated by starting with chemotherapy to shrink the tumor. […] Some patients can undergo minimally invasive surgery to speed up recovery time and reduce side effects. […] We have pioneered minimally invasive surgery for these types of cancer, he says.
