identied where workers are estimated to have 100 times more risk of developing paranasal SCC than the general population [9].
Human papillomavirus, specically subtypes 6 and 11, also seems to play a role in develop­ment of SCC by promoting malignant transfor­mation of sinonasal inverted papilloma [10].
Histologically 80% are keratinizing (contain­ing areas of keratin formation, either as sheets or as epithelial pearls), while 20% are nonkeratiniz­ing [11]. Transitional (Schneiderian) carcinoma is a special type of nonkeratinizing SCC that has no particular site of predilection. It is transitional only in that it tends toward squamous cell differ­entiation [12].
Non salivary gland Adenocarcinoma: Adenocarcinoma comprises about 15% of all sinonasal malignancies. Adenocarcinomas exhibit a striking male predominance (75–90%), with a peak age incidence between 55 and 60years. The ethmoids are the most common site of origin for these tumors. Adenocarcinomas are divided into intestinal and nonintestinal types.
The intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is identical to those arising in the intestinal tract. It has been hypothesized that ITAC derives from a stem cell capable of undergoing differentiation into various type of epithelial cells [13]. Exposure to hard wood dust is a well-recognized risk factor since 1965 [14]. Acheson estimated that wood­workers in the furniture industry had an approxi­mately 875-fold higher incidence in sinonasal adenocarcinoma when compared to the normal population [15]. Most series reveal a high rate of ethmoid adenocarcinoma (90%) linked to wood exposure and some European countries include it with occupational diseases [16]. ITAC histologi­cally and immunohistochemically resembles intestinal neoplasms [17]. Barnes subdivided those neoplasms into ve subtypes: papillary, colonic, solid, mucinous, and mixed. The papil­lary type shows the less aggressive course while mucinous adenocarcinomas have the highest mortality [18].
The nonintestinal adenocarcinomas are typi­cally seromucinous adenocarcinoma lacking any histological or immunophenotypical features of ITACs or salivary type adenocarcinomas. There
are no known occupational or environmental eti­ological factors.
Typically, they are characterized by a back-to­back proliferation of glands without intervening stroma. Based on the degree of cytomorphologi­cal characteristics, non-ITACs can be further divided into low-grade and high-grade tumors. Low-grade tumors commonly affect the ethmoids while the high-grade tumors are more common at the maxillary sinus [19]. Low-grade nonintestinal­type sinonasal adenocarcinomas have an excel­lent prognosis.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) account for about 10% % of sinonasal malignancies. It is slightly more common among women and most commonly present in the fth and sixth decades of life. Those tumors are characterized by slowly progressive relentless course. Late recurrence can occur 10–20years after remission by initial treatment [20]. Perineural spread, the hallmark of adenoid cystic carcinoma, is usually evident and provides avenues of spread to the cranial base commonly through the maxillary division of tri­geminal. Perineural invasion in ACC has been considered as one of the determining factors for locoregional recurrence or distant metastasis [21]. The tumor also has a propensity for bony invasion, which can lead to signicant involve­ment of the skull base. Distant metastasis is more frequent than lymphatic metastasis, with an aver­age incidence of 40%. The lungs and bones are the sites most frequently involved in systemic metastasis [22]. Adenoid cystic carcinoma exhib­its three histologic subtypes based on tumor architecture: cribriform, tubular, and solid. The most common subtype is the cribriform, but the solid subtypes are known to have the worst prog­nosis among the three subtypes [23].
Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor of neuroectodermal origin, arising from olfactory bipolar cells. The tumor was rst recog­nized by Berger etal. in 1924, who coined the term “esthesioneuroepitheliome olfactif” [24]. It accounts for 3% of all intranasal malignancies. The tumor exhibits a bimodal age incidence showing peaks in age groups 11–20 years and 51–60years [25]. The sex distribution is roughly equal. Most olfactory neuroblastomas arise in the

superior nasal cavity and are intimately related to the cribriform plate through which they readily spread intracranially [26].
The incidence of metastasis is reportedly 10–33% at the time of diagnosis; cervical nodal metastasis is the most common occurring in
15.6–20.2% [27]. Hyams’ developed a grading system, which assigns ENB tumors a grade of I to IV based on lobular architecture, mitosis, necro­sis, nuclear pleomorphism, brillary matrix, and rosettes formation. Grades I and II may be placed together as low grade, and grades III and IV are considered high grade [28].
Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) was rst described in 1986 by Frierson and col­leagues as a distinct pathological entity arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses [29].
SNUC is a rapidly progressive epithelial malignancy with an incidence of about 0.02 per 100,000 individuals and a median age of diagno­sis in the sixth decade of life. These high-grade neoplasms lack squamous or glandular differen­tiation and frequently arise from the ethmoid sinuses. Immunohistochemistry analysis is often required for diagnosis. Sinonasal undifferenti­ated carcinoma (SNUC) is composed of pleo­morphic cells with a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, arranged in nests, sheets, and trabeculae with central areas of central necrosis [30]. Most patients with SNUC are typically diagnosed with advanced disease extending beyond the parana­sal sinuses to involve the orbit (53%) and skull base (41%). In addition, cervical nodal and dis­tant metastasis to the lungs and liver commonly occur [31]. Although outcomes have improved substantially from the median survival of 4 months originally reported by Frierson and colleagues, the prognosis for SNUC remains poor [32].
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common sinonasal malignancy among children; it origi­nates from primitive myogenic cells. Histologically, These tumors appear as small round blue cells and are further classied into four distinct histologic groups (embryonic, alve­olar, anaplastic, and undifferentiated)with vary­ing prognosis [33]. Embryonal histology has a favorable prognosis and 5-year survival rate of
80%, compared with a corresponding rate of only 52% for alveolar subtypes [34].
Malignant melanoma: The nasal cavity is the most common site for mucosal melanomas in the head and neck, it accounts for approximately 3% of sinonasal cancers. The peak age of incidence is between the fth and eighth decades [35]. Mucosal melanomas are less commonly pig­mented than are their cutaneous counterparts. Histologic appearance includes high mitotic rate and vascular invasion. Immunostaining and elec­tron microscopy are frequently needed to estab­lish the diagnosis. Mucosal melanomas of the paranasal sinuses are rapidly lethal neoplasms [36].
Other less common malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are mucoepi­dermoid carcinoma, plasmacytoma, lymphoma, germ cell tumors, and various sarcomas.
Metastases to the sinonasal region are rare. Renal cell carcinoma is by far the most common source of metastases to this area, followed by lung and breast cancers [37].
40.3 Evaluation
40.3.1 Presentation
Because of the anatomical conguration of the paranasal sinuses as air containing spaces in the skull bones; early or small-sized sinus tumors will produce no or nonspecic symptoms. Clinician should have a high index of suspicion to diagnose such early lesions which will dramat­ically improve the prognosis and the chances of cure for such patients. It was estimated that between 9% and 12% of patients diagnosed with sinonasal malignancies are asymptomatic [38].
The presence of unilateral sinusitis associated with pain and sinus pressure that is not respond­ing well to medical treatment should raise the suspicion for an early neoplasm involving that sinus and causing obstructive phenomenon. Unexplainable dental symptoms such as dental pain, loosening of teeth, ill-tting denture or a non-healing oroantral stula developing after tooth extraction are possible suspicious signs

that warrant further workup with a high resolu­tion CT scan.
The most common symptoms of sinonasal malignancies are unilateral nasal obstruction, nasal discharge that may be bloody, epistaxis, or anosmia. Such common complaints may be over­looked for a long time by patients and clinicians, causing a signicant delay in the diagnosis.
It has been estimated that an average delay of 6–8months occurs between the onset of symp­toms and the denitive diagnosis and, at this time, more than half of the tumors have reached an advanced stage with a poor prognostic out­come [39, 40].
Many patients present with an advanced stage tumor that make the diagnosis very obvi­ous. Maxillary tumors may extend inferiorly causing a submucosal bulge or ulceration involving the alveolar ridge or hard palate. Anterior extension will breach the anterior max­illary wall causing evident facial swelling. Medial extension to the nasal cavity producing nasal obstruction and intranasal mass. Extension to the orbit commonly occurs especially with ethmoid tumors producing ocular symptoms in about 50% of cases and is related to the site and degree of invasion [41]. The occurrence of pro­ptosis, epiphora (that might be bloody), diplo­pia, limited ocular motility, blindness or even tumor fungation are all manifestations of orbital involvement by malignant sinonasal neoplasms. On the other hand, orbital involvement can be completely asymptomatic and discovered only on imaging.
Involvement of the infraorbital nerve com­monly occurs with maxillary tumors leading to hypoesthesia overlying the cheek. Posterior extension will lead to trismus due to invasion of pterygoid muscles.
Extension to the cranial base may lead to blurred vision, diplopia, or in hypoesthesia along the branches of the trigeminal nerves.
Nasal examination might reveal an intranasal mass that is amenable to ofce examination using the nasal speculum, on the other hand suspicious cases not presenting with a frank nasal mass should have a meticulous endoscopic intranasal examination with the use of nasal decongestant

and topical anesthetic. Endoscopic examination may reveal the presence of a small intranasal mass or a polyp (Fig.40.1), an ulcerative bleed­ing area in the nasal mucosa. Tumors may also present as a submucosal mass without any muco­sal changes or even a bulging lateral nasal wall with overlying intact mucosa.
The presence of cervical adenopathy is not common at the time of diagnosis (less than 10%). Signicant adenopathy at initial presentation should raise the suspicion of lymphoma.
40.3.2 Diagnostic Imaging
A non-contrast CT scan is the most commonly request imaging modality for patients presenting with nonspecic (suspicious) sinonasal symp­toms. The presence of bone erosion or unilateral soft-tissue shadow is enough to raise the suspen­sion of a sinonasal neoplasm that mandates full radiological evaluation. Contrast-enhanced CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the paranasal sinuses are generally needed for the accurate assessment of sinonasal neoplasia. CT is better for evaluating bony changes, including expansion, remodeling, and erosion or destruc­tion, while MRI is more useful in assessing soft tissues such as orbital invasion, intracranial extension, and perineural spread.

information gained from both CT and MRI com­plement each other in dening the precise extent of the tumor.
Bone destruction is seen with aggressive malignant tumors. On the other hand, low-grade malignancies may produce bone remodeling. Tumors of cartilage and bone origin exhibit carti­laginous or bony matrix (Fig.40.2). Calcication within the tumor mass is seen with esthesioneu­roblastoma and chondrosarcoma. These radio-
469
graphic features can help in narrowing the differential diagnosis of a tumor however, aggres­sive inammatory lesions (Wegener’s granulo­matosis or granulomatous fungal sinusitis may mimic a malignancy).
MRI is the most sensitive imaging modality in
assessment of orbital invasion (Fig.
40.3). The
condition of the periorbita is a key element in assessment of early stages of orbital invasion. The periorbita appears as a hypointense line interspersed between the hyperintense extraconal fat and the tumor. The presence of unsharp or nodular tumor-fat interface predicts orbital inva­sion with high accuracy [
42]. In cases with cra-
nial base invasion; the condition of the dura is an important determining factor. Linear enhance­ment at the site of contact with the tumor is gen­erally a reactive change while dural invasion appears as thickening (>5mm) or nodular dural tumor interface with a sensitivity of 88% [43]. CT scans are much less sensitive in demonstra­tion of such subtle changes.
Perineural tumor spread manifests as thicken­ing or altered enhancement of a nerve segment, widening or erosion of skull base foramina and ssures, enlargement and bulging of the cavern­ous sinus.
Posterior extension to the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa is shown equally by both CT and MRI.Bone lysis and erosion are quite often associated with partial or complete effacement of fat pads in both fossae.
Functional imaging (PET-CT and the newly emerging PET-MRI) does not generally play an important role in the initial assessment of sinona­sal tumors. However, they are particularly useful in post-treatment follow-up. The high negative predictive value of the technique allows recurrent tumors to be safely ruled out, whereas positive studies need to be viewed cautiously because of the high rate of false-positive results [
44].
In the postoperative follow-up settings MRI has greater potential in the differentiation between scar tissue and recurrence. The wide array of pulse sequences available (including dif­fusion weighted imaging) allows collection of information quantitatively and qualitatively supe­rior to that obtained with multislice CT [45].

40.3.3 Biopsy
Biopsy and histopathological examination are mandatory before embarking on any manage­ment of a malignant sinonasal mass. Biopsy should be obtained after full imaging evaluation of the case. An endoscopic transnasal biopsy is the preferred method. It offers excellent visual­ization and minimal alteration of the tumor and surrounding structures. However, the surgeon should avoid attempts at either debulking or an attempted resection of the tumor while taking the biopsy because the resulting anatomical altera­tion will make denitive surgery more difcult.
Open biopsy is generally not needed even with deeply located maxillary lesion can be reached by the creation an astronomy and the use of endo­scopes with different viewing angles and curved instruments.
An adequate biopsy should be obtained avoid­ing the core of bulky tumors (least viable) and areas of inammatory polypoid mucosal changes beside the tumor mass. The specimen should be handled carefully to avoid crush artifacts and a part of the specimen should be sent in saline especially if lymphoma is suspected.
Because of the rarity of sinonasal tumors, the diversity of the histological types, the high histo­logical spectrum of differentiation among the same histological type and the presence of over­lapping pathological features with other entities; reaching a correct histopathological diagnosis of malignant sinonasal tumors is often difcult.
The use of immunostaining is frequently needed to reach a denitive diagnosis which will have a great impact on the management decision. It is extremely important to have a skilled head and neck pathologist and to consider the need for a second opinion in many instances.
40.3.4 Staging
The extent of a cancer at time of diagnosis is an important factor used to dene treatment and to assess the chance of successful outcome. Cancer staging systems were developed to code the extent of cancer. In addition to its prognostic
value, it also allows homogeneous classication to compare groups of patients in clinical trials who receive standard care around the world facil­itating communication and publication.
The most widely used staging system in the current clinical practice is the TNM system main­tained by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the International Union for Cancer Control (UICC). The system codes the extent of the primary tumor (T), regional lymph nodes (N), and distant metastases (M) and pro­vides a “stage grouping” based on T, N, and M.The system is periodically updated based on advances in understanding of cancer prognosis to remain current and relevant to clinical practice.
The latest revision of TNM is the eighth edi­tion that included many changes related to the classication on nasopharyngeal and oropharyn­geal carcinoma, on the other hand the classica­tion of sinonasal malignancies remained the same as the previous edition [46]. The seventh edition of this classication includes two different group­ing systems, one for carcinoma of the maxillary sinus and one for malignant tumors of the eth­moid sinuses and the nasal cavity. This classica­tion divides T4 lesions into T4a (moderately advanced local disease) and T4b (very advanced local disease), leading to the stratication of stage 4 into stage 4A (moderately advanced local/ regional disease), stage 4B (very advanced local/ regional disease), and stage 4C (distant meta­static disease) [47].
The TNM is essentially an anatomically based staging. However, the rapidly increasing knowl­edge of cancer biology provides prognostic infor­mation that is in many instances more relevant than anatomic extent. This information need to be incorporated into the TNM nomenclature.
A variety of alternative systems have been proposed for use with individual histopathologi­cal types, including esthesioneuroblastoma, SNUC, sinonasal mucosal melanoma and rhab­domyosarcoma. Many of these staging systems have been found to be of great utility and accu­rately predict patient survival.
Several staging systems have been proposed for esthesioneuroblastoma. The Kadish system [48] is the most commonly used, and it classied
40 Cancer oftheNasal Cavity andParanasal Sinuses

471
tumors into three categories (A–C) by location and extension; the system was later updated with redened stage C and introducing a new stage D (for metastases) [49]. A third classication sys­tem proposed by Dulguerov and Calcaterra is based on the TNM system [50].
40.4 Treatment
The management of paranasal sinus tumors is a multidisciplinary endeavor that involves a team of specialists beside the head and neck surgeon such as pathology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, prosthodontists, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery. The prime parameters that drive management decisions are the tumor pathology, the ability to achieve a gross total resection, and the availability of adjunctive therapies.
Complete surgical resection (when feasible) followed by postoperative irradiation is consid­ered the standard of care in most cases of malig­nant sinonasal tumors.
40.4.1 Surgical Treatment
Irrespective of the surgical technique used, the aim of curative surgery is to achieve complete tumor resection with microscopically negative resection margins. The extent of surgically resec­tion is largely dependent on the extension of the tumor and to a lesser extent on the known bio­logical behavior of a particular tumor e.g., bio­logically aggressive versus none.
high doses required for primary irradiation [
54,
55].
It was not possible until the early sixties that Mon bloc resection of the ethmoids was possible through a combined transcranial and facial approaches. In 1963, Ketcham and his colleagues reported the rst series of 19 patients who had an anterior craniofacial resection, but 80% of his patients suffered some type of complications [56]. The technique fell in disfavor until the peri­cranial ap was described to protect dural closure after anterior craniofacial resection which has led to marked reduction of intracranial complication and the anterior craniofacial resection became a safe surgical procedure [
57].
Anterior craniofacial resection is the standard procedure for surgical management of ethmoidal malignancies abutting or invading the anterior cranial base. Intracranial exposure is obtained through a bicoronal incision and bifrontal crani­otomy. Cerebral dehydrating measures are administered and the dura is lifted off the anterior cranial base to expose the roof of the ethmoids (Fig.40.4). An appropriate transfacial approach is combined (according to tumor extension). The ethmoid block is ostetomized and the ethmoid block is delivered through the facial approach (Fig.40.5), dura is reconstructed and closed in a watertight manner and the pericranial ap is used to separate the intracranial contents from the nasal cavity. Transdural invasion into the brain parenchyma is not a contraindication to surgical resection, alternatively cavernous sinus or inter-
40.4.1.1 Nasoethmoidal Tumors
Historically, those tumors were managed by a transfacial resection. The major surgical failure was an inadequate excision of the tumor, most commonly at the cribriform plate, with subse­quent high local recurrence rates [51, 52] and very low cure rates of 27–35% of malignancies of the nasal vault and 9–10% for ethmoid tumors [53]. Radiation therapy was also associated with high failure rate and serious complications because of the limited tolerance of the visual pathway and other neuronal structures to the

Endoscopic Resection ofNasoethmoidal Malignancies
Surgical treatment for nasoethmoidal malignan­cies has witnessed a dramatic change over the last two decades with a paradigm shift toward the application of transnasal endoscopic techniques. This was largely due to an increase in surgical expertise, advances in imaging techniques and surgical instrumentation.
Early reports on endoscopic resection of naso­ethmoidal malignancies included only patients with centrally located lesions limited to their site of origin without involvement of the adjacent skull base. However, in the following years and with increasing experience skull base involve­ment was also deemed amenable to a purely endoscopic excision [58].
Endoscopic resection of malignant sinonasal neoplasms have been extensively debated since its introduction. This was mainly based on the inability to perform a monbloc resection and that a piece meal removal of tumor is not considered oncologically sound in that it predisposes the patient to positive margins postresection [59].
Theoretical advantages of endoscopic resec­tion include superior illumination, magnication and visualization of the surgical eld, wider angles of vision using angled endoscopes, avoid-

ance of facial incisions, shorter hospital stays, and lower costs [60].
The limitations of endoscopic techniques include the lack of stereoscopic visualization and depth perception, the inability to repair or patch dural defects with suture techniques, which limits the reconstructive options after endoscopic resec­tion of intradural tumors. Lund and coworkers do not recommend endoscopic resection in isolation if there is transdural extension—a craniofacial resection is typically recommended [61]. Also in cases with extensive invasion and perineural spread an open technique is usually recommended.
Many studies comparing endoscopic vs open techniques demonstrated that endoscopic resec­tion of sinonasal malignancies have oncologic results equivalent to those of open surgery in selected cases however most of the cases who underwent endoscopic resection where of a lower grade tumors and none of them were T4 tumors [6264]. Lu etal. in a recent meta-analysis con­cluded that “current pooled evidence suggested that when compared to open resection, endo­scopic resection is a comparable surgical approach for sinonasal malignancies” and that it is likely that “particular patients and presenta­tions will benet more from one of the approaches versus the other.” [65]
In experienced hands and in well-selected patient populations, endoscopic resection of sinonasal malignancies is safe, and survival and recurrence data seem to be comparable with those for open techniques.
40.4.1.2 Maxillary Tumors
Tumors originating in the maxillary sinus are removed by some form of maxillectomy. The maxillectomy operation represents one of the earliest attempts at oncological resection of head and neck cancer. The rst report of maxillectomy appeared in 1826 by Lizars [66]. Arguably, the most famous of maxillectomies was that per­formed on President Grover Cleveland on board the yacht Oneida as it sailed up the East River on the morning of July 1, 1893. A verrucous squa-

mous carcinoma was removed, the patient was tted an obturator and he remained tumor-free until his death from cardiopulmonary disease 15years later [67].
To avoid confusing terms like extended and radical maxillectomy, Spiro et al. developed a simple classication of maxillectomy. A limited maxillectomy indicated removal of one wall of the maxilla (e.g. medial, inferior or superior max­illectomy), total maxillectomy indicated removal of the entire maxilla while a subtotal maxillec­tomy describes removal of at least two walls of the maxilla. In all cases any additional resection of adjacent structures e.g., the orbit, facial skin, pterygopalatine, or infratemporal fossa must be identied [68].
Medial maxillectomy requires removal of the entire lateral nasal wall and the ethmoids on one side. This can be performed classically through a lateral rhinotomy. Alternatively the operation can be accomplished successfully through an endo­scopic endonasal approach or through a transan­tral approach avoiding the facial incision. The operation is commonly performed for early or low-grade tumors involving the lateral nasal wall. Malignancies conned to the lower half of the maxilla are managed by limited (inferior) maxil­lectomy and this can be performed through a transoral route. In both medial and inferior max­illectomy the infraorbital nerve is preserved. Larger maxillary tumors would require a subtotal maxillectomy, a procedure that removes at least two walls of the sinus including a portion of the hard palate or the orbital oor. The extent of resection is dictated by the extent of the tumor.
More extensive tumors would require a total maxillectomy where the entire maxilla is removed, where tumors extend posteriorly to the pterygopalatine or infratemporal fossa; the ptery­goid plates may be included with the maxillec­tomy (Fig. 40.6) or an infratemporal fossa dissection is required for complete tumor extirpa­tion. Total maxillectomy is generally performed through a Weber-Ferguson incision with a sub­ciliary or transconjunctival extension (Fig.40.7).

Alternatively, the operation can be performed through a combined wide sublabial and subcili­ary incisions incision to minimize facial incisions.
Resection of the hard palate and alveolus requires reconstruction this is commonly per­formed using a dental obturator; some centers prefer the use of composite free aps that are fashioned to replace missing bone.

40.4.2 Non-surgical Treatment
40.4.2.1 Radiation Therapy
Postoperative radiotherapy is generally indicated patients with high-grade tumors, microscopically positive resection margin or histopathological features of aggressive behavior such as lymphovascular, bone or perineural invasion. Postoperative radiotherapy is also indicated in cases where the surgeon is not condent about complete tumor resection (close surgical margin) or tumor spillage during surgery [69].
Postoperative doses typically range from 50 to 66Gy, but doses of 70 to 74.4Gy or higher may be necessary to control gross residual or unre­sectable disease. The necessity for high dose for disease control and the sensitivity of adjacent neural structures presents challenges to the treat­ing radiation oncologist [70].
Historically, radiation therapy delivered via conventional techniques has been associated with signicant complications. Severe visual toxicity has been observed with unilateral and bilateral blindness rates reported to be as high as 30% and 10%, respectively [71].
Subsequent improvements in three­dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D­CRT) techniques allowed planning based on computed tomography anatomy and led to improvements in target coverage and normal tis­sue sparing appeared to reduce the risk on optical pathways [72].
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was one of the most important advances in mod­ern radiotherapy planning it allows for better sparing of optic and brain structures and improved coverage of tumor [73, 74].
Charged particle therapy using protons or car­bon ions have garnered particular interesting the treatment of sinonasal cancer it have the potential to maintain target coverage and further lower dose to surrounding normal organs [75]. A recent meta-analyses showed an increase in disease con­trol with charged particle therapy compared to photon radiation therapy [76].
40.4.2.2 Chemotherapy
Classically, the role of chemotherapy in the man­agement of sinonasal malignancies has been lim-
ited to palliative treatment of locally advanced or metastatic cancers [77]. This role has recently expanded to be become a part of the multimodal management where systemic chemotherapy is administered in neoadjuvant, concurrent, or adju­vant settings.
Clinical studies have demonstrated a poten­tial benet of induction chemotherapy in the multimodal treatment of advanced cases [78]. The approach with induction chemotherapy aims to reduce the local burden of disease, with the two objectives of promoting a better approach with radical surgery or radiotherapy, and to reduce the risk of distant spread, for the most aggressive forms. Favorable response to induction chemotherapy is considered a strong prognostic factor [79, 80]. Induction chemo­therapy has become key aspect of orbit-sparing protocols [81].
Concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy achieved promising survival and locoregional control rates in certain cases [82]. Chemotherapeutic agents may also be used as radiosensitizers, enhancing the effects of radia­tion on tumor cells [83]. Most accepted protocols currently used involve platinum-based agents [84].
Intra-arterial delivery of chemotherapeutic agents was developed in an effort to deliver higher concentrations to the tumor site while minimizing toxic reactions [85]. Despite excit­ing organ-preservation and local control rates, intra- arterial chemotherapy carries substantial risk of toxicity that was not justied, given that the efcacy was similar to that of evolving induction chemotherapy regimens [86]. And the technique remains largely an experimental option.
The development of many biologic agents over the past decade, including cetuximab and other monoclonal antibodies, harbors signicant potential for targeted therapy [87].
40.4.3 Management ofOrbital
Invasion
The incidence of orbital invasion by malignan­cies of the sinonasal tract varies with the site of
40 Cancer oftheNasal Cavity andParanasal Sinuses

origin, histology, and aggressiveness of the tumor. Invasion of the orbital wall is present in 66–82% of the patients with ethmoidal malignancy, with involvement of the orbital peri­osteum in 30–50% of patients [88].
Till the early 1960s, orbital exenteration was required for any degree of orbital invasion [89]. During the early 1970s, an emerging consensus toward orbital preservation have emerged and the criteria dening the indications for orbital preser­vation versus exenteration have evolved. In 1970, Sisson introduced the concept of selective orbital preservation surgery following adjunctive preop­erative radiation for paranasal sinus malignancy [90]. Conley had stated that “most patients are willing to take extra risks to save the eye” [91].
Several investigators like Perry et al. [92], McCarry etal. [93], and Sisson etal. [94] have demonstrated that the periorbita is an effective barrier to tumor invasion and they concluded that the orbit can be preserved if the full thickness of the periorbita is not breached by tumor. The results showed no signicant adverse effect on local recurrence using this strategy pushing the limits of orbital preservation even further, Tiwari has noted that a thin fascial layer exists around the periorbital fat that is distinct from the perior­bita and believes that invasion of this layer should determine the need for exenteration [95].
Reconstruction. Reconstruction of the orbit is frequently needed to maintain function of the preserved eye and avoid sequelae such as enoph­thalmos, hypotropia, and diplopia. Reconstructive goals include appropriate support and positioning of preserved orbital contents. Techniques and options for repairing orbital defects depend hon the extent of resection. Resected periorbita is reconstructed with a fascial graft, limited resec­tion of the orbital oor requires no reconstruc­tion. Larger defects involving the orbital oor must undergo immediate rigid reconstruction [96]. Titanium mesh and porous polyethylene implants are among the commonly used materi­als in this regard [97]. Larger tumor resection including maxillectomy, orbital exenteration, and facial soft-tissue sacrice necessitate utilization of free tissue transfer. Complementary strategies,
such as prosthetics, can be exceedingly helpful in restoring form.

• Cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is rare, representing less than 1% of all human malignancies.
• Sinonasal malignancies comprise a wide variety of neoplasms with different biologic behavior, ranging from slow­growing and indolent to highly aggres­sive and lethal.
• Understanding the biologic behavior of these tumors is of paramount impor­tance in selecting the optimal treatment strategy.
• The signs and symptoms of early stage sinonasal malignancy are similar to those of benign conditions and a high index of suspicion is required for their diagnosis.
• Both CT and MRI are complimentary in the evaluation of patients with sinonasal malignancies.
• Surgery plays an important role in the management of most patients with sino­nasal malignancies.
• Treatment of sinonasal tumors is fre­quently multimodal and requires close ongoing multidisciplinary cooperation.
