Relationship Between Anatomical Site and Prognosis for Sinonasal Cancers

Is there a connection between anatomical location and survival for various sinonasal cancers?

Background: Sinonasal malignancies are relatively rare but aggressive tumors. Squamous cell carcinomas are the most common, reported to constitute more than 40% of cases. Due to the insidious progression of sinonasal malignancies, patients tend to initially present in later stages, with a poor prognosis. The authors sought to uncover a connection between anatomical location and survival for various sinonasal cancers.

Study design: Retrospective analysis of 13,295 cases of sinonasal malignancies diagnosed between 1973 and 2011.

Setting: United States National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry.
