Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: Clinical outcomes and patterns of failure
2012, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Patients with inoperable disease receive definitive RT or chemoradiotherapy. Clinical outcomes for patients with PNS/NC tumors are poor with 5-year overall survival (OS) of 15–65% (2–10) and 5-year local control (LC) of 21–78% (2–9, 11). RT delivered via conventional and conformal techniques has been associated with significant complications.

2010, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, the limitations of surgery alone are obvious given the frequent presentation of advanced disease. It has been clearly demonstrated that postoperative radiotherapy improves local control regardless of the surgical margin status (8–20). However, postoperative radiotherapy using conventional techniques is associated with a relatively high risk of potentially severe complications (21–25).
Malignant Tumors of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses: Long-Term Outcome and Morbidity With Emphasis on Hypothalamic-Pituitary Deficiency

2007, Radiotherapy and OncologyCitation Excerpt :Elective neck irradiation should be evaluated in each patient on an individual basis, carefully considering the local extent and the lymphatic drainage of the primary tumour. Despite considerable variations in patient selection and therapeutic strategy, nearly all published studies analyzing outcome after conventional or 3D-conformal RT have reported a high rate of complications [2,5,7,11–16,21–25]. In comparison, the incidence of serious radiation-induced morbidity in this series was minimal.
