“…The difference was highly significant in the log-rank analysis, as suggested in previous reports. 17,66,76,95,96,104,111,134,135,139,154,167,169,180 The meta-analysis confirmed that surgery (70%) and combined surgery and radiation (56%) offer better local control and cure rates than radiotherapy alone (33%). Most series, including ours, are biased in patient selection, and no randomized study has been published.…”

“…However, these data have to be specified in several ways, as discussed in the prognostic section of this review. The male:female ratio has been reported as 2:1 [1,5], but with an increasing age of the patients this ratio seems to adjust, as reported by Robin et al [3] in a study on a large group of patients from the UK. Malignant sinonasal tumors can occur at any age, but the majority is seen at an older age in the sixth and seventh decades of life [6,7].…”

Tumors of the nasal cavity are located at a complex anatomic site and show a huge histological diversity. Although dealing with a rare malignancy, the last decade has brought – besides new histological and clinical classifications – a variety of new insights into etiological agents, tumor biology and therapeutic concepts as well as valuable overviews of rare histological subtypes. This review tries to disentangle the different medical and scientific aspects of the most frequently encountered histological types of tumors in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. We concentrate on epidemiology, classification, etiology, cytogenetics and molecular genetics, outcome and prognosis as well as treatment modalities, as far as the past few years have brought considerable new insights. Our principal aim is to provide the clinician with important data from publications of the last decade.

“…29 Comparison of those individuals with no dural invasion to those with either dural or brain invasion reveals a significantly worse prognosis in the last group. 15,30 Dural invasion alone seems for most of the authors to be detrimental to survival, decreasing 5-year survival from 68% to 25% in a series of 63 adenocarcinomas 22 and from 83% to 22% in patients undergoing craniofacial resection.…”
