10.1 Introduction
Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule (NV), which is the most common
NV cancer, is relatively rare (<1% of H&N cancer), even if probably its incidence
is underestimated, and presents, as described in the previous chapters, several anatomical clinical and histological peculiarities when compared with malignancies of
the nasal cavity proper and skin (see Chap. 3) [1, 2]. In general, the prognosis is

considered favorable, with 3-year locoregional control and overall survival rates
ranging from 67% to 92% and from 50% to 90%, respectively [3–5].
The most frequent presenting symptoms and signs are not specic, including
nasal airway obstruction, associated with epistaxis and rhinorrhea, and this causes a
delay of the diagnosis. Also, as the most frequent presenting site is the perinasal
skin, these cases are often primarily referred to plastic surgeons and dermatologists,
which misclassify them as primary skin cancer with improper primary denition of
the extension and of the origin of the tumor [6].
Due to the rarity of the condition and to the lack of randomized/prospective studies, a class I evidence is missing. The therapeutic decision is based on a retrospective series with a limited number of patients, enrolled over a long period of time.

10.1.1 Potential Predictive Factors, Data toGuide
Treatment Recommendation
The series describing NV SCC are few and generally small. Different authors
describe different putative predictive factors with the potential to guide treatment
decisions. No denitive conclusion can currently be drawn on the subject.
The tumor extension can have an impact on the treatment choice: septum inva-
sion has been reportedly associated with a signicantly higher risk of recurrence [7,
8]. In particular, the involvement of deep tissues of the septum and the columella,
especially around the anterior nasal spine, had been described to have a worse prognosis when treated with radiotherapy alone [9].
Tumors of the oor of the vestibule, extending into the upper lip, and of the alar
wall, invading the underlying cartilage, have been often considered unsuitable for
surgery, due to poor cosmetic results, difcult to correct even with complex reconstructions [10]. The tumor size seems to have an impact on local control (LC) as
well [4, 11]. Wong etal. [12] found that tumor size of 2cm or more and the involvement of the lip, the columella, and the skin of the ala nasi were associated with a
worse LC rate. Wray etal. found that patients who received radiotherapy alone had
an excellent disease control except for tumors with a maximum diameter of more
than 4cm [4]. Compared with similarly sized T1-T2, T4 cancers according to AJCC,
with a diameter of less than 4cm, had no higher risk of local recurrence [13]. No
difference was found in the probability of LC after radiotherapy of newly diagnosed
primary lesions compared to that of recurrences after previous surgery [4]. Tumor
diameter >1.5 cm and T2 stage are associated with a decreased regional control
[14]. Poor histologic differentiation is a risk factor for poor LC [15]. Not surprisingly, patients with clinically metastatic neck lymph nodes (cN+) have a poor prognosis and might have benets from more aggressive/combined treatment [11]. In
our opinion, neck dissection remains the mainstay of treatment for patients with
metastatic lymph nodes in the neck.
In any case, clear evidence supporting one treatment modality versus another is
lacking, and the choice of the treatment is described more extensively in other
chapters of this monograph. The foregoing chapter will focus on technical aspects

and clinical outcomes of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for nasal vestibule
cancers.

10.1.2 EBRT
Radiotherapy has a role as primary treatment for early-stage nasal vestibule cancer
and in the postoperative setting for advanced lesions. Radiotherapy modalities vary
among different treatment centers from external irradiation alone, interstitial
brachytherapy alone, or combinations of external irradiation and brachytherapy (BRT).
EBRT alone is indicated for small primaries with cN0 necks, cT3 (according to
Wang classication) and/or cN+ cases are often treated with concomitant chemotherapy (usually cisplatin).
In any case, it is hard to compare the different series for several reasons: (1) no
universally recognized classication (see Chaps. 4 and 5), (2) different radiation
treatment modalities and schedules used across the years, (3) radiotherapy treatment often highly individualized without clear denition of the criteria and available guidelines.
10.1.2.1 Early Stage (T1–T2 According toWang)
In early stages, radiotherapy or surgery could result in equally good oncological
outcomes [16] producing LC rates of 90% or more. Choice of treatment is based on
size, extension, and anticipated cosmetic outcomes. Surgery is a good option for
small, well-delineated, and supercial lesions [17], usually not invading the skin
[10]. Several reports proposed radiotherapy as primary treatment in early stages for
its better cosmetic results compared to surgery [3, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19].
In a retrospective study by Langendijk etal. [3], primary EBRT (with or without
endocavitary brachytherapy boost) is the standard treatment for T1 and T2 patients,
according to the WANG system. The choice of radiation technique depended on
tumor extension and radiation oncologist’s experience. Specically, EBRT alone
was reserved for tumors involving the upper lip. Primary radiotherapy was considered effective for early stage tumors, resulting in 2-year LC of 80%, with a 2-year
ultimate LC rate of 95%, after salvage surgery.
In fact, in another retrospective study, Levandang etal. [11] reported only 3% of
recurrence in patients treated by brachytherapy alone versus 13% and 38% in EBRT
only and combined EBRT-brachytherapy groups, respectively, which may be due to
selection bias (the majority of T2 stage was treated with combined modality).
In a report by Vanneste etal. [20], patients with T1 or selected T2 (no bulky, no
invasion of upper lip or nasal septum) were treated with interstitial brachytherapy.
Other T2 and T3 patients were treated with EBRT.LC rate for T1 was extremely
high (97% at 5years). For T2, recurrences were observed only in the EBRT group,
probably attributable to the selection bias. This report conrmed that higher T class
was associated with poorer LC (only 53% for cT3 tumors according to Wang’s
classication).

In fact, in a multivariate analysis, Wray etal. [4] found no signicant differences
between radiation treatment modalities (BRT alone, EBRT alone, or combined
BRT-EBRT) in terms of LC, local-regional control (LRC), distant metastases (DM),
overall survival (OS), and cause-specic survival (CSS). On a stage-by-stage basis,
the overall LC in early-stage tumors was 100% with BRT alone, 88% and 86% with
combined EBRT-BRT and EBRT alone, respectively.
No specic parameters contraindicating radiotherapy as primary modality were
found in retrospective studies. Mccollough [13] noted that cartilage invasion was
not associated with worse LC rates in patients treated with radiotherapy alone.
However, a recent multicentric analysis [14] describes that BRT provided higher
3-year LC and nose preservation rate, compared with EBRT (95% vs. 71%), also in
multivariable risk-stratied analysis, in cT1-T2 (according to Wang) NV carcinomas. This would conrm studies reporting lower survival and worse LC rates of
EBRT compared to brachytherapy or surgery [11, 19].
I. D’Onofrio et al.
10.1.2.2 Advanced Stage (T3 According toWANG or More
Than 4cm)
In a denitive radiotherapy setting, EBRT treatment combined with chemotherapy
has been recommended in large size and/or deep inltrating tumors, solely or in
combination with brachytherapy as a boost. Anyway, it is difcult to obtain LC of
advanced tumors, and there is a high tendency to relapse after irradiation. Therefore,
tumors larger than 4cm and/or with bone invasion are unsuitable for either radiation
therapy or surgery alone but should rather be treated with a combination of these
two modalities [19, 21]. A retrospective study of the DAHANCA group reported
very poor results in Wang cT3 tumors, mainly treated by EBRT: 39% 5-year diseasespecic survival (DSS) and 0% 5-year OS, which suggested the necessity of the
combination with a surgical approach [17]. In fact, in advanced stages, the surgical
resection associated with postoperative EBRT offered higher LC rates [4].
In general, in the postoperative setting, adjuvant EBRT is indicated in case of
advanced tumors (classied as T3 WANG or T4 AJCC), involved or unclear margin,
nodal involvement, or perineural invasion [4, 17].
In some reports, the use of preoperative (in case of neoadjuvant irradiation, but
mostly in case of recurrence after denitive EBRT) radiotherapy appeared to be
associated with a greater risk of sequelae such as bone exposure or wound complication when patients are submitted to ablative surgery [4, 22].
10.2 Role ofChemotherapy
There are few data on the role of chemotherapy in NV cancer treatment, as NV
cancer is generally considered as more similar to the skin than to mucosal malignancies, even if this is not demonstrated by evidence. Therefore, the choice of chemotherapy is left to the discretion of the clinician, based on the stage and risk factors.
cT3 according to Wang and clinical nodal involvement can be considered parameters to indicate concomitant chemotherapy in cases treated primarily by EBRT.

https://t.me/medicina_free
On the other hand, in the postoperative setting, extensive neck involvement,
namely pN2-3 (according to eighth AJCC classication), and incomplete resection
(R1) usually indicate adjuvant concomitant chemoradiotherapy in other head and
neck subsites and can be considered valid criteria also for operated NV carcinomas.
Table 10.1 analytically describes the results of the main studies reporting the
outcomes of radiotherapy for treatment of nose vestibule carcinomas.
121
10.3 EBRT Techniques
EBRT is the most common modality of radiotherapy, which delivers radiation
beams from a source external to the patient.
Megavoltage (MV) photons and electron beams are generated from linear accelerators. MV electron beams represent an important radiation treatment modality
often providing a unique option in the treatment of supercial targets. This is possible because the electron beam exhibits a higher surface dose than MV photon
beams. The electron beam has a sharp fall-off of the dose sparing deeper tissues.
The depth of penetration may be adjusted by varying the energy of the electron
beam. On the contrary, megavoltage photons are more penetrating, and their slow
fall-off is an issue in case of supercial lesions as most often nose vestibule cancers are.
Using a lead cut-out, the electron eld can be easily adapted to the area to treat,
although the wide penumbra of the electron beam requires a larger margin (1.5cm)
than that is required for photons treatments [23].
Historical series describe widely 2D conventional/3D conformal techniques for
EBRT treatment of NV carcinoma. Over the last decades, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become the standard treatment in head and neck cancers,
improving conformability and homogeneity of dose distribution to the planning target volume (PTV) and sparing the adjacent structures at risk. Nowadays, modern
techniques that include IMRT and volumetric-modulated radiation therapy (VMAT)
are routinely used in most centers.
10.3.1 Positioning andImmobilization
10.3.1.1 3D Conformal Radiotherapy
Historically, EBRT treatment for nasal vestibule cancers consists of a combination
of anterior elds using 20-MeV electrons and 6-MV photons weighted 4–1. Patient
is immobilized in supine position using a thermoplastic mask, with the head +/−
shoulder slightly exed. Placing a customized lead shield directly on the patient’s
skin, the electron eld can be shaped to t the treatment area, reducing the penumbra of the electron beam and sparing critical tissues as the nasolacrimal duct and the
eye (Fig.10.1).
To increase the dose delivery to the skin near the gross tumor volume (GTV)
region, bolus material (0.5–1cm thickness) is often used for the electron portion of
