Staging and survival for sinus cancer in the pediatric population

Prognostic factors in sinonasal sarcomas: Analysis of the surveillance, epidemiology and end result database

“…The SEER database program of the National Cancer Institute combines data from multiple individual cancer registries and covers about a quarter of the US population 7. The SEER database is a powerful tool that is particularly useful for analyzing unusual and rare tumors, including sinonasal malignancies 8–10. Drawbacks of the SEER database include the fact that many histologies are often grouped together, differentiation from overall and disease specific survival is not provided, and cause of death is not known (e.g., locoregional recurrence, distant metastases, comorbidities).…”

Sinonasal malignancies in children: A 10-year, single-institutional review

“…Previously published series further demonstrate the rarity of these malignancies. A review of 16 pediatric patients with sinonasal malignancies treated at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary showed no cases of SCCA or salivary carcinomas,5 and a review of SEER data from 1973 to 2002 identified only two cases of SCCA (4.6%) 1…”

“…A recent review of SEER data by Shapiro et al1 demonstrated the rarity of pediatric sinonasal malignancies, with only 63 cases identified over a 17‐year period. This has precluded the development of established treatment protocols, and prospective, randomized studies examining treatment modalities are lacking.…”

Tumores de nariz y senos paranasales en pacientes pediátricos: experiencia de un hospital pediátrico de cuarto nivel en Bogotá, Colombia, 2013-2018

“…Los tumores de senos paranasales en niños son una entidad rara, pero de gran impacto en la calidad de vida del paciente y su familia. Las tasas de mortalidad y sobrevida varían según el diagnóstico etiológico y el acceso oportuno a los servicios en salud (1). Aproximadamente, el 5 % de los tumores de cabeza y cuello se originan en la nariz y los senos paranasales; la sintomatología es inespecífica, lo que retrasa la toma de imágenes que apoyen el proceso diagnóstico (2).…”
