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 specic, 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 denition 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 toGuide
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 denitive 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 signicantly 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, difcult to correct even with complex recon­structions [10]. The tumor size seems to have an impact on local control (LC) as well [4, 11]. Wong etal. [12] found that tumor size of 2cm 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 etal. found that patients who received radiotherapy alone had an excellent disease control except for tumors with a maximum diameter of more than 4cm [4]. Compared with similarly sized T1-T2, T4 cancers according to AJCC, with a diameter of less than 4cm, 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 benets 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 classication) 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 classication (see Chaps. 4 and 5), (2) different radiation treatment modalities and schedules used across the years, (3) radiotherapy treat­ment often highly individualized without clear denition of the criteria and avail­able guidelines.
10.1.2.1 Early Stage (T1–T2 According toWang)
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 supercial 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 etal. [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. Specically, 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 etal. [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 etal. [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 5years). For T2, recurrences were observed only in the EBRT group, probably attributable to the selection bias. This report conrmed that higher T class was associated with poorer LC (only 53% for cT3 tumors according to Wang’s classication).

In fact, in a multivariate analysis, Wray etal. [4] found no signicant 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-specic 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 specic 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-stratied analysis, in cT1-T2 (according to Wang) NV carcino­mas. This would conrm 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 toWANG or More
Than 4cm)
In a denitive radiotherapy setting, EBRT treatment combined with chemotherapy has been recommended in large size and/or deep inltrating tumors, solely or in combination with brachytherapy as a boost. Anyway, it is difcult to obtain LC of advanced tumors, and there is a high tendency to relapse after irradiation. Therefore, tumors larger than 4cm 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 disease­specic 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 (classied 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 denitive 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 ofChemotherapy
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.

On the other hand, in the postoperative setting, extensive neck involvement, namely pN2-3 (according to eighth AJCC classication), 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.

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 supercial 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 supercial 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 (1.5cm) 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 andImmobilization
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 (0.5–1cm thickness) is often used for the electron portion of
