Surgery for bone destruction in sinus cancer is significant.
Surgery is the main treatment for most sinus malignant tumors, especially for early stage tumors with more limited extent. For those with larger scope and more complicated surrounding structures, which are difficult to achieve radical resection by surgery alone, preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used to reduce postoperative recurrence and improve the therapeutic efficacy.
Bone destruction occurs in sinus cancer is a common pathological and biological characteristic of this disease, and it is now recognized that the comprehensive treatment of nasal sinus malignant tumors based on surgical resection has the best prognosis. For middle and late stage tumors, it is often difficult to obtain satisfactory results by surgery alone, and comprehensive evaluation is needed to adopt the integrated therapy of surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Radiotherapy alone, except for a few malignant tumors of nasal cavity and sinus which are particularly sensitive to radiation, such as some sarcomas and undifferentiated carcinomas, the effect is even worse than surgery.
When the bone destruction of sinus cancer is found, one should consult the hospital, improve the examination and comprehensive evaluation, and follow the doctor’s instruction to standardize the diagnosis and treatment.
