• #1 Nose Cancer: Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Cancers

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/nasal-cavity-and-paranasal-sinus-cancers-3999634

  Nose cancer, or cancer in the nasal cavity or the four paranasal sinuses that surround it, is a relatively rare type of cancer. It accounts for between 3% and 5% of all head and neck cancer cases in the United States each year. […] One complication with nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers is that many of the early symptoms are much the same as those you might find with a common cold or flu. They include: Runny or stuffy nose, Congestion, The sense that your sinuses are full or blocked. […] Because these symptoms are so common, many people with these cancers do not seek treatment until a later stage when the cancer has advanced. In fact, a 2021 study of 184 of these cancer cases in Pakistan found more than 70% were initially diagnosed with stage IV disease. […] At that point, the cancer has spread to nearby structures such as the eyes. It may cause more serious symptoms, such as nose bleeds or tooth pain, that cause people to see a healthcare provider.

• #2 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. […] Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers are typically given a clinical stage based on the results of any exams, biopsies, and imaging tests that might have been done. […] Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer staging can be complex. If you have questions about the stage of your cancer and what it might mean for you, ask your doctor to explain it to you in a way you understand.

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/ear-nose-and-throat-disorders/tumors-of-the-head-and-neck/paranasal-sinus-cancer

  Paranasal sinus cancer is rare. It usually is squamous cell carcinoma but can also be adenocarcinoma, and it occurs most often in the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. In most cases its cause is not known, symptoms develop late, and survival is generally poor. […] Because the sinuses provide room for the cancer to grow, symptoms usually do not develop until the cancer is well advanced. The following symptoms result from local pressure of the cancer on adjacent structures: Pain, Nasal obstruction and discharge, Epistaxis, Diplopia, Ear pain or fullness, Facial paresthesias, Loose maxillary teeth below the affected sinus. […] The earlier paranasal sinus cancer is treated, the better the prognosis. Prognosis also depends on histology. Survival is improving but remains generally poor. Overall, about 40% of people will have recurrent disease, and 5-year survival is about 60%.

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

  In most cases, nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers are found because of problems they cause. Finding these cancers in people without symptoms is rare and usually accidental (while doing tests to check for other medical problems). Possible signs and symptoms of these cancers (often only on one side) include: Nasal congestion and stuffiness that doesnt get better or even worsens […] Having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t mean you have nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancer. In fact, many of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by other conditions. Still, if you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to have them checked by a doctor so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed. If treatment (like with an antibiotic) doesn’t work, be sure to go back to your doctor for more testing.

  Sinus cancers, nasal cancers and skull base cancers usually originate in the maxillary sinus, the nasal cavity, and the ethmoid sinus, in that order. […] Cancers that originate at the top of your maxillary sinus, located between the eyes and the upper jaw, can invade your eyes and affect your vision. Those that invade through the back wall can access the nerves and vessels at the base of your skull and move directly into your brain. Those tumors represent extremely advanced disease. […] Tumors arising in the ethmoid sinus, between the eye sockets and the nose, and the nasal cavity can also spread to an eye or the optic nerve. They can also invade the thin bone at the base of your skull and spread within your brain. […] 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. The vast majority of patients with these symptoms have benign, easily treatable conditions such as chronic sinusitis; however, symptoms that persist need to be evaluated to rule out a more ominous cause such as a tumor.

  Nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancer is often discovered when a person is being treated for a seemingly benign, inflammatory disease of the sinuses, such as sinusitis. […] The signs and symptoms of later stage cancer are generally caused by the spread of malignant cells into the neighbouring structures of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity. […] During the progress of the cancer, the overall signs and symptoms may include sinus pressure and pain, blocked sinus, headaches, nosebleeds, pain and pressure in the ears, among other symptoms. […] Different symptoms may appear as the tumor starts to spread into other body structures. […] Symptoms such as proptosis, diplopia and other eye problems may appear if the tumor spreads into the orbit. […] Symptoms such as trismus (lockjaw), facial swelling, toothache, mid-face or jaw numbness may occur if the tumor spreads into the infratemporal fossa, pterygopalatine fossae or masseteric space.

  Nasal cancer or more specifically, paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer is best described as a group of cancers that can affect the tissues of the nose, palate, and the sinuses near the nose. Cancer of the nose is relatively rare. It can be difficult to notice in its early stages because symptoms are hardly noticeable and sometimes get mistaken for infections. Common symptoms of paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer include blocked nose, voice changes, cheek swelling, headaches and painful or numb cheek. Nasal cancers can spread to the lymph nodes in the neck. The lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures in the lymphatic system. It is part of the body’s immune system. Cancer that has spread and grown in the lymph nodes shows up as a painless lump in the neck. […] The first symptoms of paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer might feel like a cold or sinus infection, such as nasal congestion or sinus pain. Symptoms may include: Nasal congestion and obstruction or discharge, Difficulty breathing, Recurring sinus infections, A feeling of pressure in the middle of the face, Nosebleeds, A lump or sore that does not heal inside the nose, A lump on the face or the roof of the mouth, Pain in the sinus region or upper teeth, Swelling or other trouble with the eyes, Dentures fitting poorly, or upper teeth feeling loose or numb. If any of these symptoms do not go away, it is important to schedule an appointment with a head and neck cancer expert for an accurate nasal cancer diagnosis.

  Nasal cancer usually develops in the area of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, extending into the maxillary sinuses. […] As nasal cancer generally grows very slowly, there are usually no symptoms for a long time. As the tumor continues to grow, nasal breathing is initially impaired. Furthermore, nosebleeds often occur in connection with nasal cancer. Odor and taste disorders can also occur. […] Only when the nasal cancer has grown into the surrounding tissue at an advanced stage does deformation occur of the outer nose, the face or of the eye socket. […] Nasal cancer is diagnosed following a medical history interview in combination with an ear, nose and throat examination. […] Nasal cancer is treatable in the vast majority of cases. However, the methods that can be used also depend on the stage of the tumor. […] Nasal cancer is rarely fatal. If detected early, it is usually even curable. A narrowly defined, slow tumor growth and good access with the help of an operation have a positive effect. The prognosis worsens if the nasal cancer has already grown into the eye sockets or sinuses, or metastases occur.

  Most tumors of the paranasal sinuses present with advanced disease, and cure rates are generally poor (50%). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most frequent type of malignant tumor in the nose and paranasal sinuses (70%80%). Papillomas are distinct entities that may undergo malignant degeneration. The cancers grow within the bony confines of the sinuses and are often asymptomatic until they erode and invade adjacent structures. […] Nodal involvement is infrequent. Metastases from both the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses may occur, and distant metastases are found in 20% to 40% of patients who do not respond to treatment.

  The most common types of SNM are squamous cell carcinoma (50-55%) and adenocarcinoma (10-15%). Other types include esthesioneuroblastoma (6%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (6%), mucosal melanoma (7%), undifferentiated carcinoma (3%), and other neoplasias (14%). […] Although rare, SNMs can be lesions of immense importance. They produce few, if any, signs while the tumor is in its early stages. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the initial manifestations (eg, unilateral epistaxis, nasal obstruction) mimic signs and symptoms of many common but less serious conditions. Therefore, the patient and clinician often disregard or minimize the initial presentation of these tumors and treat early-stage malignancy as a benign sinonasal disorder. […] By the time ominous signs and symptoms (such as severe intractable headache, visual disturbance, or cranial neuropathy) occur, the neoplasm is often advanced. The anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses causes these tumors to manifest in advanced stages and complicate their treatment. […] Initial presenting symptoms include the following: Epistaxis, Nasal obstruction, Recurrent sinusitis, Cranial neuropathy, Sinus pain, Facial paresthesia, Proptosis, Diplopia, Asymptomatic neck mass.

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.

  Nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancer is often discovered when a person is being treated for a seemingly benign, inflammatory disease of the sinuses, such as sinusitis. […] The signs and symptoms of later stage cancer are generally caused by the spread of malignant cells into the neighbouring structures of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity. […] During the progress of the cancer, the overall signs and symptoms may include sinus pressure and pain, blocked sinus, headaches, nosebleeds, pain and pressure in the ears, among other symptoms. […] Different symptoms may appear as the tumor starts to spread into other body structures. […] Symptoms such as proptosis, diplopia and other eye problems may appear if the tumor spreads into the orbit. […] Symptoms such as trismus (lockjaw), facial swelling, toothache, mid-face or jaw numbness may occur if the tumor spreads into the infratemporal fossa, pterygopalatine fossae or masseteric space.

Other types include esthesioneuroblastoma (6%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (6%), mucosal melanoma (7%), undifferentiated carcinoma (3%), and other neoplasias (14%). […] Although rare, SNMs can be lesions of immense importance. They produce few, if any, signs while the tumor is in its early stages. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the initial manifestations (eg, unilateral epistaxis, nasal obstruction) mimic signs and symptoms of many common but less serious conditions. Therefore, the patient and clinician often disregard or minimize the initial presentation of these tumors and treat early-stage malignancy as a benign sinonasal disorder. […] By the time ominous signs and symptoms (such as severe intractable headache, visual disturbance, or cranial neuropathy) occur, the neoplasm is often advanced. The anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses causes these tumors to manifest in advanced stages and complicate their treatment.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most frequent type of malignant tumor in the nose and paranasal sinuses (70%80%). Papillomas are distinct entities that may undergo malignant degeneration. The cancers grow within the bony confines of the sinuses and are often asymptomatic until they erode and invade adjacent structures. […] Nodal involvement is infrequent. Metastases from both the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses may occur, and distant metastases are found in 20% to 40% of patients who do not respond to treatment. However, locoregional recurrence accounts for most cancer deaths because most patients die of direct extension into vital areas of the skull or of rapidly recurring local disease.

• #98 Malignant Tumors of the Sinuses: Practice Essentials, Epidemiology, Etiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/847189-overview

  The most common types of SNM are squamous cell carcinoma (50-55%) and adenocarcinoma (10-15%). Other types include esthesioneuroblastoma (6%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (6%), mucosal melanoma (7%), undifferentiated carcinoma (3%), and other neoplasias (14%). […] Although rare, SNMs can be lesions of immense importance. They produce few, if any, signs while the tumor is in its early stages. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the initial manifestations (eg, unilateral epistaxis, nasal obstruction) mimic signs and symptoms of many common but less serious conditions. Therefore, the patient and clinician often disregard or minimize the initial presentation of these tumors and treat early-stage malignancy as a benign sinonasal disorder. […] By the time ominous signs and symptoms (such as severe intractable headache, visual disturbance, or cranial neuropathy) occur, the neoplasm is often advanced. The anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses causes these tumors to manifest in advanced stages and complicate their treatment. […] Initial presenting symptoms include the following: Epistaxis, Nasal obstruction, Recurrent sinusitis, Cranial neuropathy, Sinus pain, Facial paresthesia, Proptosis, Diplopia, Asymptomatic neck mass.

Those that invade through the back wall can access the nerves and vessels at the base of your skull and move directly into your brain. Those tumors represent extremely advanced disease. […] Tumors arising in the ethmoid sinus, between the eye sockets and the nose, and the nasal cavity can also spread to an eye or the optic nerve. They can also invade the thin bone at the base of your skull and spread within your brain. […] 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. The vast majority of patients with these symptoms have benign, easily treatable conditions such as chronic sinusitis; however, symptoms that persist need to be evaluated to rule out a more ominous cause such as a tumor.

  There were 69 (62.16%) male and 42 (37.83%) female patients (male-to-female ratio of 1.6:1), with a median age of 4912.2 years (range 21 to 88 years). […] The most frequent reported symptoms at the time of diagnosis were nasal obstruction, diplopia, facial swelling, epistaxis, proptosis, headache, mass in the nose, and auditory disturbance. […] The most common symptoms were nasal obstruction, diplopia, and facial swelling. […] There is a gap between the onset of symptoms and final diagnosis of the disease in most cases due to nonspecific manifestations of the paranasal malignancies, which misleads patients to receive treatment in an appropriate time. […] Local recurrence was the dominant treatment failure in our patients. In addition, 20 (18%) patients were recorded with regional recurrences and 30 (27%) patients had a distant metastasis, which are in agreement with the previous studies. […] The optimal therapeutic protocol for patients suffering from cancers of the paranasal sinuses is still a somewhat controversial entity.
