[PMID: 38788337 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2024.106855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human papillomavirus (HPV) has emerged as a potential etiological factor in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), but a clear understanding of HPV prevalence and its temporal patterns in SNSCC remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends in HPV testing and positivity rates, and explore demographic and geographic factors associated with these trends. METHODS A retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with invasive SNSCC between 2011 and 2017 from the US National Cancer Database (NCDB). Prevalence ratios (PR) of HPV positivity and testing rates were estimated with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS The overall HPV testing rate was 45.4 % (N = 1762/3880), and the prevalence of HPV testing significantly decreased during the study period (adjusted PR: 0.97, 95 % CI: 0.95 - 0.99, p < 0.001). Overall HPV positivity frequency was 37.3 % (N = 650/1741), and the overall prevalence of HPV positive tumors significantly increased during the study period (adjusted PR: 1.04, 95 % CI: 1.02 - 1.05, p < 0.001). The increase in HPV positivity rate was observed solely in the white population (unadjusted PR: 1.10, 95 % CI: 1.06 - 1.14; p < 0.001). A significant geographical variation was observed for both HPV testing (range: 28.6 % - 61.7 %) and positivity (range: 28.3 % - 44.7 %). CONCLUSIONS This study provides novel insights into the temporal trends and demographic factors associated with HPV testing and positivity in SNSCC. Despite increasing HPV positivity rates, disparities in testing rates persist, highlighting the need for standardized testing protocols and targeted interventions.

Abstract
This case report presents a 64-year-old male diagnosed with sinonasal primary squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), a rare and aggressive upper aerodigestive tract malignancy. Initially, he presented with unilateral recurrent epistaxis. Imaging and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient's non-compliance with clinic appointments led to significant disease progression, culminating in his unfortunate demise. This case underscores the importance of early detection and continuous monitoring in SNSCC, given its nonspecific early symptoms and poor prognosis. It emphasizes the necessity for heightened suspicion in patients with recurrent or unresolved sinonasal complaints, as timely intervention is crucial for better outcomes.

Assessment of targeted therapy opportunities in sinonasal cancers using patient-derived functional tumor models. Transl Oncol 2024; 44:101935. [PMID: 38522153 PMCID: PMC10973676 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Malignant tumors derived from the epithelium lining the nasal cavity region are termed sinonasal cancers, a highly heterogeneous group of rare tumors accounting for 3 - 5 % of all head and neck cancers. Progress with next-generation molecular profiling has improved our understanding of the complexity of sinonasal cancers and resulted in the identification of an increasing number of distinct tumor entities. Despite these significant developments, the treatment of sinonasal cancers has hardly evolved since the 1980s, and an advanced sinonasal cancer presents a poor prognosis as targeted therapies are usually not available. To gain insights into potential targeted therapeutic opportunities, we performed a multiomics profiling of patient-derived functional tumor models to identify molecular characteristics associated with pharmacological responses in the different subtypes of sinonasal cancer. METHODS Patient-derived ex vivo tumor models representing four distinct sinonasal cancer subtypes: sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and SMARCB1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma were included in the analyses. Results of functional drug screens of 160 anti-cancer therapies were integrated with gene panel sequencing and histological analyses of the tumor tissues and the ex vivo cell cultures to establish associations between drug sensitivity and molecular characteristics including driver mutations. RESULTS The different sinonasal cancer subtypes display considerable differential drug sensitivity. Underlying the drug sensitivity profiles, each subtype was associated with unique molecular features. The therapeutic vulnerabilities correlating with specific genomic background were extended and validated with in silico analyses of cancer cell lines representing different human cancers and with reported case studies of sinonasal cancers treated with targeted therapies. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate the importance of understanding the differential biology and the molecular features associated with the different subtypes of sinonasal cancers. Patient-derived ex vivo tumor models can be a powerful tool for investigating these rare cancers and prioritizing targeted therapeutic strategies for future clinical development and personalized medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to examine the treatment outcomes and related factors in locally advanced sinonasal cancer across Turkiye. METHODS Twelve centers participants of the Turkish Society for Radiation Oncology Head and Neck Study Group attended the study. One hundred and ninety-four patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy between 2001 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Acute and late toxicity were recorded per Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events V4.0. RESULTS The median age was 58 years and 70% were male. The majority of tumors were located in maxillary sinus (59%). Most of the patients (%83) had T3 and T4A disease. Fifty-three percent of patients were in stage 4A. Radiotherapy was administered to 80% of the patients in the adjuvant settings. Median 66 Gy dose was administered in median 31 fractions. Chemotherapy was administered concomitantly with radiotherapy in 45% of the patients mostly with weekly cisplatin. No grade ≥4 acute and late toxicity was observed. The median follow-up was 43 months. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival (OS); locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS); distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 61% and 47%; 69% and 61%; 72%, and 69%, and 56% and 49%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, several factors demonstrated significant influence on OS, such as performance status, surgery, and lymph node involvement. Moreover, surgery was the key prognostic factor for LRFS. For DMFS, lymph node involvement and surgical margin were found to be influential factors. In addition, performance status and lymph node involvement were identified as significantly affecting PFS. CONCLUSIONS In our study, the authors obtained promising results with IMRT. Performance status, lymph node involvement, and surgery emerged as the primary factors significantly influencing OS.

Abstract
Diagnosis and therapy of orbital diseases is an interdisciplinary challenge, in which i.e. otorhinolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, maxillo-facial surgeons, endocrinologists, and pediatricians are involved. This review article describes frequent diseases which both, otolaryngologists and ophthalmologists are concerned with in interdisciplinary settings. In particular the inflammatory diseases of the orbit including orbital complications, autoimmunological diseases of the orbit including Grave´s orbitopathy, and primary and secondary tumors of the orbit are discussed. Beside describing the clinical characteristics and diagnostic steps the article focusses on the interdisciplinary therapy. The review is completed by the presentation of most important surgical approaches to the orbit, their indications and possible complications. The authors tried to highlight the relevant facts despite the shortness of the text.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of facility volume on outcomes following primary endoscopic surgical management of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). METHODS The 2010-2016 National Cancer DataBase (NCDB) was queried for patients diagnosed with T1-T4a SNSCC surgically treated endoscopically as the primary treatment modality. Factors associated with overall survival (OS) were evaluated, including facility volume. RESULTS A total of 330 patients who underwent endoscopic surgical management of SNSCC were treated at 356 unique facilities designated as either low-volume (LVC; treating 1-2 cases; 0-75th percentile), intermediate-volume centers (IVC; 3-4 cases total; 75th-90th percentile), or 144 high-volume (HVC; treating 5+ cases total; >90th percentile) centers. HVC treated patients with higher T staging (42.1 % vs. 29.8 %) and tumors in the maxillary sinus (26.9 % vs. 13.2 %) and ethmoid sinus (10.3 % vs. ≤8.3 %), while LVCs treated lower T stage tumors (70.2 % vs. 57.9 %) and tumors that were located in the nasal cavity (70.2-78.5 % vs. 62.8 %). On multivariable analysis, factors associated with decreased OS included higher T stage (T3/T4a vs. T1/T2; OR 1.92, 95 % CI 1.06-3.47) and older age (>65 vs. <65; OR 2.69, 95 % CI 1.62-4.49). Cases treated at high-volume centers were not associated with a higher likelihood of OS when compared to low-volume centers (OR 0.70, 95 % CI 0.36-1.35). CONCLUSIONS HVC are treating more primary tumors of the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses and tumors with higher T stages with endoscopic approaches, although this does not appear to be associated with increased OS. SHORT SUMMARY Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) presents late in disease process with poor prognosis. We investigated the impact of facility volume on outcomes following endoscopic treatment of SNSCC. High-volume centers treat more advanced and complex disease with comparable OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of elective neck dissection (END) in the management of clinical N0 (cN0) squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the sinonasal tract is unclear. In this systematic review, we evaluate the risk of occult nodal metastasis in sinonasal SCCs with cN0M0 tumors to support clinical decision making. METHODS A literature search was conducted in the following three electronic databases: Medline/PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles were assessed for eligibility in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Two independent authors extracted the data. The Methodological Items for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool was used for the assessment of biases of each included study. RESULTS Our systematic review included six studies that met the inclusion criteria, all retrospective in design. The rate of histologically proven metastasis of sinonasal SCC to the clinically negative neck is 12.5%. Almost half of the positive cases are pathologically staged as N2 (6.5%). CONCLUSION Our systematic review provides the rate of sinonasal SCC occult metastasis to the neck so that the surgeons can discuss with patients the risks and possible merits of adding an elective neck management in the surgical plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

[PMID: 37194665 DOI: 10.1002/lary.30738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the association between time to surgery (TTS) and survival in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma patients (SSCC). METHODS We queried the 2004-2016 National Cancer Database for all cases of adult SSCC undergoing primary surgical treatment. Patients with missing TTS information were excluded. We conducted a multivariate analysis of patient demographic and clinicopathological characteristics' effect on overall survival (OS) using a Cox proportional hazards model enhanced with cubic spline non-linear approximation. Bootstrapping methods were utilized to detect the aggregate risk of TTS delay on patient OS. RESULTS A total of 2,881 patients met the inclusion criteria. The majority of patients were male (63.5%), White (86.3%), and over the age of 60 (58.4%). Parametric cubic spline approximation Cox hazard model detected a non-linear association between patient OS and TTS below 30 days with the lowest risk occurring at 18 days and steadily increasing subsequently. To analyze the aggregate risk and identify the optimal TTS cut-off after 30 days of surgical delay, the cohort sample was bootstrapped and dichotomized. The largest increase in aggregated risk was identified at 59 days (Hazards Ratio [HR] = 1.006 [0.839-1.084], p = 0.003). 60 days were used as the optimal TTS cut-off for analyzing the survival rate using the Cox proportional hazard model. Undergoing surgery within 60 days translated to a 14.6% decreased chance of death (HR: 0.854 [0.83-0.96]). CONCLUSIONS Increasing TTS is associated with worse overall survival in patients with SSCC. Our study suggests that surgery should be done within 60 days to achieve optimal survival results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 133:3389-3395, 2023.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2023; 117:893-902. [PMID: 37245536 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.05.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare oncologic outcomes between definitive radiation therapy (RT) and upfront surgical resection in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 2008 and 2021, 155 patients with T1-4b, N0-3 sinonasal SCC were analyzed. The 3-year overall survival (OS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), and overall progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using the Kaplan Meier method and compared using a log-rank test. A pattern of regional neck lymph node (LN) failure and treatment-related toxicity profiles were investigated. RESULTS A total of 63 and 92 patients underwent upfront RT (RT group) and surgical resection (Surgery group), respectively. The RT group included significantly more patients with T3-4 disease than the Surgery group (90.5% vs 39.1%, P < .001). The rates of 3-year OS, LPFS, and PFS in the RT and Surgery groups were 68.6% versus 81.7% (P = .073), 62.3% versus 73.8% (P = .187), and 47.4% versus 66.1% (P = .005), respectively. However, the corresponding rates in patients with T3-4 disease were 65.1% versus 64.8% (P = .794), 57.4% versus 56.8% (P = .351), and 43.2% versus 46.5% (P = .638), respectively, demonstrating no statistically significant differences between the 2 treatment modalities. Among the 133 N0 patients, regional neck LN progression was observed in 17 patients, and the most common sites of regional neck LN failure were ipsilateral levels Ib (9 patients) and II (7 patients). The 3-year neck node recurrence-free rate in cT1-3N0 patients was 93.5%, while that in cT4N0 patients was 81.1% (P = .025). CONCLUSIONS Upfront RT may be considered in selected patients with locally advanced sinonasal SCC, as we have demonstrated similar oncologic outcomes to those of surgery. Prophylactic neck treatment in T4 disease requires further investigation to evaluate its efficacy.

Long-term quality of life after treatment in sinonasal malignancy: A prospective, multicenter study. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2023; 13:2030-2042. [PMID: 37082883 DOI: 10.1002/alr.23171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality of life (QOL) for individuals with sinonasal malignancy (SNM) is significantly under-studied, yet it is critical for counseling and may impact treatment. In this study we evaluated how patient, treatment, and disease factors impact sinonasal-specific and generalized QOL using validated metrics in a large cohort over a 5-year posttreatment time frame. METHODS Patients with SNM who underwent definitive treatment with curative intent were enrolled in a prospective, multisite, longitudinal observational study. QOL was assessed using the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UWQOL) instruments at pretreatment baseline and multiple follow-ups through 5 years posttreatment. Multivariable modeling was used to determine demographic, disease, and treatment factors associated with disease-specific and generalized physical and social/emotional function QOL. RESULTS One hundred ninety-four patients with SNM were analyzed. All QOL indices were impaired at pretreatment baseline and improved after treatment. SNOT-22 scores improved 3 months and UWQOL scores improved 6 to 9 months posttreatment. Patients who underwent open compared with endoscopic tumor resection had worse generalized QOL (p < 0.001), adjusted for factors including T stage. Pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) involvement was associated with worse QOL (SNOT-22, p < 0.001; UWQOL Physical dimension, p = 0.02). Adjuvant radiation was associated with worse disease-specific QOL (p = 0.03). Neck dissection was associated with worse generalized physical function QOL (p = 0.01). Positive margins were associated with worse generalized social/emotional function QOL (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Disease-specific and generalized QOL is impaired at baseline in patients with SNM and improves after treatment. Endoscopic resection is associated with better QOL. PPF involvement, adjuvant radiation, neck dissection, and positive margins were associated with worse QOL posttreatment.

Abstract
Sinonasal and skull base tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with considerable histologic variation and overlapping imaging features. In 2022, the World Health Organization updated the head and neck tumor classification, further emphasizing the importance of molecular data and genetic alterations in sinonasal neoplasms. The changes include the addition of new entities and discussion of emerging entities, as well as changes to the taxonomy and characterization of tumors. The new classification focuses on entities that develop in these sites either exclusively (eg, olfactory neuroblastoma) or most frequently. Another change includes reduction in the number of categories by creating separate category-specific chapters for soft-tissue, hematolymphoid, and neuroectodermal lesions. In this review, we briefly discuss the various categories in the new classification with a more detailed description of the 2 new entities (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable complex-deficient sinonasal carcinomas and human papillomavirus-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma). We also highlight the emerging entities including IDH-mutant sinonasal malignancies and DEK-AFF2 carcinoma, presently classified as sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, respectively.

Automated Prediction of Early Recurrence in Advanced Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Deep Learning and Multi-parametric MRI-based Radiomics Nomogram. Acad Radiol 2023; 30:2201-2211. [PMID: 36925335 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2022.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Preoperative prediction of the recurrence risk in patients with advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is critical for individualized treatment. To evaluate the predictive ability of radiomics signature (RS) based on deep learning and multiparametric MRI for the risk of 2-year recurrence in advanced SNSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative MRI datasets were retrospectively collected from 265 SNSCC patients (145 recurrences) who underwent preoperative MRI, including T2-weighted (T2W), contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1c) sequences and diffusion-weighted (DW). All patients were divided into 165 training cohort and 70 test cohort. A deep learning segmentation model based on VB-Net was used to segment regions of interest (ROIs) for preoperative MRI and radiomics features were extracted from automatically segmented ROIs. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression (LR) were applied for feature selection and radiomics score construction. Combined with meaningful clinicopathological predictors, a nomogram was developed and its performance was evaluated. In addition, X-title software was used to divide patients into high-risk or low-risk early relapse (ER) subgroups. Recurrence-free survival probability (RFS) was assessed for each subgroup. RESULTS The radiomics score, T stage, histological grade and Ki-67 predictors were independent predictors. The segmentation models of T2WI, T1c, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequences achieved Dice coefficients of 0.720, 0.727, and 0.756, respectively, in the test cohort. RS-T2, RS-T1c and RS-ADC were derived from single-parameter MRI. RS-Combined (combined with T2WI, T1c, and ADC features) was derived from multiparametric MRI and reached area under curve (AUC) and accuracy of 0.854 (0.749-0.927) and 74.3% (0.624-0.840), respectively, in the test cohort. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) illustrate its value in clinical practice. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 2-year RFS rate for low-risk patients was significantly greater than that for high-risk patients in both the training and testing cohorts (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Automated nomograms based on multi-sequence MRI help to predict ER in SNSCC patients preoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal malignant tumors (SNMTs) have a high recurrence risk, which is responsible for the poor prognosis of patients. Assessing recurrence risk in SNMT patients is a current problem. PURPOSE To establish an MRI-based radiomics nomogram for assessing relapse risk in patients with SNMT. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION A total of 143 patients with 68.5% females (development/validation set, 98/45 patients). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE A 1.5-T and 3-T, fat-suppressed fast spin echo (FSE) T2-weighted imaging (FS-T2WI), FSE T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), and FSE contrast-enhanced T1WI (T1WI + C). ASSESSMENT Three MRI sequences were used to manually delineate the region of interest. Three radiomics signatures (T1WI and FS-T2WI sequences, T1WI + C sequence, and three sequences combined) were built through dimensional reduction of high-dimensional features. The clinical model was built based on clinical and MRI features. The Ki-67-based and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) model were established for comparison. The radiomics nomogram was built by combining the clinical model and best radiomics signature. The relapse-free survival analysis was used among 143 patients. STATISTICAL TESTS The intraclass/interclass correlation coefficients, univariate/multivariate Cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression algorithm, concordance index (C index), area under the curve (AUC), integrated Brier score (IBS), DeLong test, Kaplan-Meier curve, log-rank test, optimal cutoff values. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The T1 + C-based radiomics signature had best prognostic ability than the other two signatures (T1WI and FS-T2WI sequences, and three sequences combined). The radiomics nomogram had better prognostic ability and less error than the clinical model, Ki-67-based model, and TNM model (C index, 0.732; AUC, 0.765; IBS, 0.185 in the validation set). The cutoff values were 0.2 and 0.7 and then the cumulative risk rates were calculated. DATA CONCLUSION A radiomics nomogram for assessing relapse risk in patients with SNMT may provide better prognostic ability than the clinical model, Ki-67-based model, and TNM model. EVIDENCE LEVEL 3. TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 5.

Abstract
Sinonasal cancers are uncommon malignancies with a generally unfavorable prognosis, often presenting at an advanced stage. Their high rate of recurrence supports close imaging surveillance and the utilization of functional imaging techniques. Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT has very high sensitivity for the diagnosis of sinonasal malignancies and can also be used as a "metabolic biopsy" in the characterization of some of the more common subgroups of these tumors, though due to overlap in uptake, histological confirmation is still needed. For certain tumor types, radiotracers, such as 11C-choline, and radiolabeled somatostatin analogs, including 68Ga-DOTATATE/DOTATOC, have proven useful in treatment planning and surveillance. Although serial scans for posttreatment surveillance allow the detection of subclinical lesions, the optimal schedule and efficacy in terms of survival are yet to be determined. Pitfalls of 18F-FDG, such as post-surgical and post-radiotherapy crusting and inflammation, may cause false-positive hypermetabolism in the absence of relapse.

Abstract
Introduction Sinonasal carcinomas are a rare type of head and neck malignancy with various histologies. The outcomes of patients with unresectable locally advanced sinonasal carcinomas are poor. Hence, we performed this analysis to study the long-term outcomes of sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) and sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUC) where neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been given followed by local therapy. Methods 16 patients with SNUC and adenocarcinoma who received NACT were found eligible for the study. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed for baseline characteristics, adverse events and treatment compliance. Kaplan Meir methods were used for the estimation of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Seven (43.75%) adenocarcinoma and nine (56.25%) SNUC patients were identified. The median age of the whole cohort was 48.5 years. The median number of cycles delivered was 3 (IQR 1-8). The incidence of grade 3-4 toxicity (CTCAE version 5.0) was 18.75%. The response was partial response or better in seven patients (43.75%). Post-NACT 11 patients (n = 15, 73%) were eligible for definitive therapy. The median PFS was 7.63 months (95% CI, 3.23 - NA months) and the median OS was 10.6 months (95% CI, 5.2-51.5 months). Median PFS and OS for those who underwent surgery post-NACT versus those who did not undergo surgery were 36.267 versus 3.7 months (p = 0.012) and 51.5 versus 10.633 months (p = 0.190), respectively. Conclusion The study shows a favourable role of NACT in improving resectability, significant improvement in PFS and non-significant improvement in OS after surgery.

Abstract
Introduction. About 600 new cases of malignant neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity are detected annually in Russia. To date, there are no randomized trials to determine the optimal treatment algorithm for this group of patients. Data on the use of induction chemotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of sino-nasal tract are limited to a small series of clinical observations and, often, are retrospective in nature.Aim. Evaluation of the effectiveness of induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity.Materials and methods. Since 2012, 22 patients with locally advanced cancer of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity have been treated in our center, who underwent 3-component induction chemotherapy according to the TPF protocol. Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out according to the criteria of Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). Patients with a decrease in the tumor size by 30 % or more, were followed by radiation therapy in doses of 66–70 Gy. Patients with a residual tumor underwent surgery after the end of chemoradiotherapy.Results. In 21 patients available for analysis, overall response rate after induction chemotherapy was 71 %: complete response was registered in 3 (14 %) patients, partial response in 12 (57 %), stable disease in 4 (19 %). Progression disease after 3 courses of induction chemotherapy was detected in 2 (10 %) patients.Conclusions. Thus, induction chemotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of sino-nasal tractseems to be a promising direction for investigation, that can significantly improve the long-term results of treatment of this category of patients and help to avoid of disabling surgery in some of them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basaloid neoplasms of the sinonasal tract represent a significant group of tumors with histological overlap but often with different etiologies (i.e., viral, genetics), clinical management, and prognostic significance. METHODS Review. RESULTS "Basaloid" generally refers to cells with coarse chromatin in round nuclei and sparse cytoplasm, resembling cells of epithelial basal layers or imparting an "immature" appearance. Tumors with this characteristic in the sinonasal tract are represented by a spectrum of benign to high-grade malignant neoplasms, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, NUT carcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, SWI/SNF complex-deficient carcinomas, and adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma. CONCLUSION In some instances, histology alone may be sufficient for diagnosis. However, limited biopsy material or fine-needle aspiration specimens may be particularly challenging. Therefore, often other diagnostic procedures, including a combination of histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), DNA and RNA testing, and molecular genetics are necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The role of induction chemotherapy in sinonasal cancers is promising; however, prospective studies with higher grades of evidence are needed. With the currently available literature, the authors would advocate for the use of induction chemotherapy (IC) in locally advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (T3-T4) for organ preservation and potentially for improved survival outcomes. In sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), IC should be considered in all patients given its tendency for aggressive invasion and poor outcomes. In SNUC, response to IC may direct the modality of definitive treatment to follow. In responders (partial or complete), chemoradiation therapy should be strongly considered. In non-responders or in those with progression of disease, surgical therapy is favored. For esthesioneuroblastoma, surgical resection with negative margins and adjuvant radiation therapy remains the gold standard. However, IC may be considered for locally advanced disease especially with orbital invasion or in recurrent/distant disease. There is no definite indication for IC in sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma or sinonasal adenocarcinoma. Recommendations are summarized in Table 1.

Tseng CC, Gao J, Barinsky GL, Fang CH, Grube JG, Patel P, Hsueh WD, Eloy JA. Effect of Hospital Safety Net Burden on Survival for Patients With Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2023; 168:413-421. [PMID: 35608906 DOI: 10.1177/01945998221099819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine factors associated with hospital safety net burden and its impact on survival for patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database study. SETTING National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2016. METHODS SNSCC cases were identified in the National Cancer Database. Hospital safety net burden was defined by percentage of uninsured/Medicaid patients treated, namely ≤25% for low-burden hospitals, 26% to 75% for medium-burden hospitals, and >75% for high-burden hospitals (HBHs). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to investigate patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and overall survival. RESULTS An overall 6556 SNSCC cases were identified, with 1807 (27.6%) patients treated at low-burden hospitals, 3314 (50.5%) at medium-burden hospitals, and 1435 (21.9%) at HBHs. On multivariate analysis, Black race (odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.028-1.868), maxillary sinus primary site (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.036-1.643), treatment at an academic/research program (OR, 20.63; 95% CI, 8.868-47.980), and treatment at a higher-volume facility (P < .001) resulted in increased odds of being treated at HBHs. Patients with grade III/IV tumor (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.513-0.949), higher income (P < .05), or treatment modalities other than surgery alone (P < .05) had lower odds. Survival analysis showed that hospital safety net burden status was not significantly associated with overall survival (log-rank P = .727). CONCLUSION In patients with SNSCC, certain clinicopathologic factors, including Black race, lower income, treatment at an academic/research program, and treatment at facilities in the West region, were associated with treatment at HBHs. Hospital safety net burden status was not associated with differences in overall survival. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

High-risk human papillomavirus 16/18 associated with improved survival in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma. Cancer 2023; 129:1372-1383. [PMID: 36808090 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.34690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been conflicting evidence on the independent prognostic role of human papillomavirus (HPV) status in sinonasal cancer. The objective of this study was to assess whether the survival of patients with sinonasal cancer differs based on various HPV statuses, including HPV-negative, positive for the high-risk HPV-16 and HPV-18 (HPV16/18) subtypes, and positive for other high-risk and low-risk HPV subtypes. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, data from the National Cancer Database were extracted from the years 2010-2017 for patients who had primary sinonasal cancer (N = 12,009). The outcome of interest was overall survival based on HPV tumor status. RESULTS Study included an analytic cohort of 1070 patients with sinonasal cancer who had confirmed HPV tumor status (732 [68.4%] HPV-negative; 280 [26.2%] HPV16/18-positive; 40 [3.7%] positive for other high-risk HPV; and 18 [1.7%] positive for low-risk HPV). HPV-negative patients had the lowest all-cause survival probability at 5 years postdiagnosis (0.50). After controlling for covariates, HPV16/18-positive patients had a 37% lower mortality hazard than HPV-negative patients (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-0.82). Patients aged 64-72 years (crude prevalence ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.51-0.86) and 73 years and older (crude prevalence ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.31-0.59) presented with lower rates of HPV16/18-positive sinonasal cancer than those aged 40-54 years. In addition, Hispanic patients had a 2.36 times higher prevalence of non-HPV16/18 sinonasal cancer than non-Hispanic White patients. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that, for patients with sinonasal cancer, HPV16/18-positive disease may confer a significant survival advantage compared with HPV-negative disease. Other high-risk and low-risk HPV subtypes have survival rates similar to the rates for HPV-negative disease. HPV status might be an important independent prognostic factor in sinonasal cancer that could be used in patient selection and clinical decisions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resection of malignant tumors located in the anterior and middle fossae of the skull base requires thorough anatomical knowledge, as well as experience regarding the possible reconstructive options to resolve the resulting defects. The anatomical and functional relevance of the region, the complexity of the defects requiring reconstruction and the potential complications that can occur, represent a true challenge for the surgical team. The goal of this study is to describe the microsurgical reconstructive techniques available, their usefulness and postoperative complications, in patients with malignant tumors involving the skull base. MATERIALS AND METHOD This observational, retrospective study, included all patients who underwent surgery for malignant craniofacial tumors from January 1st, 2009 to January 1st, 2019 at a University Hospital in Argentina. Only patients who required reconstruction of the resulting defect with a free flap were included. RESULTS Twenty-four patients required reconstruction with FF; 14 were male (58.3%) and mean age was 54.9 years. Sarcoma was the most frequent tumor histology. Free flaps used were the following: anterolateral thigh, rectus abdominis, radial, latissimus dorsi, iliac crest and fibular. Complications occurred in 6 cases and no deaths were reported in the study group. CONCLUSION Free flaps are considered one of the preferable choices of treatment for large skull base defects. In spite of the complexity of the technique and the learning curve required, free flaps have shown to be safe, with a low rate of serious complications. For these patients, the surgical resolution should be performed by a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal epithelial malignancies are uncommon tumours but represent a challenge to treatment given their close proximity to the orbit, brain and cranial nerves. Traditional external surgical approaches have potential for significant functional and cosmetic morbidity. An endoscopic approach provides the surgeon with good access for tumour removal and enables surveillance postoperatively. This study aimed to assess outcomes of an endoscopic approach to sinonasal epithelial malignancy and evaluate factors that may influence its utility. METHODS A case series was performed involving consecutive patients treated with endoscopic or endoscopic-assisted surgery for epithelial sinonasal malignancy. Stratification included TNM staging, histopathology, surgical approach, margin status, perineural involvement and adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. At follow-up, complications, local control, nodal status and evidence of distant metastases were recorded. Statistical analyses to identify risk factors for developing recurrence and survival differences were performed. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were assessed in this study (59.2 ± 11.4 years, 42.9% female). T stage at presentation was T1 in 11.4%, T2 in 17.1%, T3 in 22.9% and T4 in 48.6%. The 3 and 5 year disease specific survival were 91.3% (SE 5) and 71.1% (SE 10). The only factors to influence survival outcomes were perineural invasion of tumour and positive margins at the time of initial surgery. Large tumours did not limit the utility of an endoscopic approach. CONCLUSION Endoscopic approach is a safe and oncologically equitable treatment approach to external approaches in the management of epithelial sinonasal malignancy. As with external approaches, perineural invasion of malignance is a poor prognostic factor.

Abstract
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is one of the least frequent carcinomas in the head and neck and accounts for 60% to 75% of sinonasal malignancies. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer development has drawn great attention over the years. The current study intended to assess the role and specific mechanism of lncRNA double homeobox A pseudogene 8 (DUXAP8) in SNSCC. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was implemented to assess the expression level of DUXAP8, microRNA-584-5p (miR-584-5p), and fibronectin type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B). Proliferation assays included colony formation assay, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Transwell assays were implemented to monitor cell migration and invasion. Cell apoptosis was evaluated via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and JC-1 experiments. Mechanism experiments included RNA pull-down assay, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, and luciferase reporter assay. DUXAP8 is overexpressed in SNSCC cells. Functionally, DUXAP8 silencing suppresses the malignant progression of SNSCC. Furthermore, DUXAP8 up-regulates the expression of FNDC3B via sponging miR-584-5p. Rescue experiments demonstrated that DUXAP8 mediates the progression of SNSCC via up-regulating FNDC3B expression. In conclusion, DUXAP8 acts as an oncogene in SNSCC, which may be a new molecular marker for SNSCC.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the oncologic outcomes of sinonasal malignancies (SNMs) of various histologic subtypes and investigate the impact of multimodality treatment on prognosis of SNM. Methods SNM patients treated with curative-intent surgery from 2000 to 2018 were included. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS). Survival was then assessed through Cox proportional hazards models. Results Three hundred and three patients were eligible for the analysis. The 5-year OS and event-free survival (EFS) were 61.0% (95% CI: 55.4%–67.1%) and 46.2% (95% CI: 40.4%–52.7%). The 5-year OS was the worst for malignant melanoma and the best for adenocarcinoma. Patients who received surgery had better OS than those who only received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Endoscopic surgery had better OS than the open approach (p < 0.05). Microscopically margin-negative resection (R0 resection) significantly benefited OS and EFS (p < 0.001). No significant difference in OS was observed between patients who received macroscopic complete resection (R1 resection) followed by adjuvant therapy and patients who received R0 resection. Older age (HR = 1.02, p = 0.02), R1 resection (HR = 1.99, p = 0.02), sinonasal surgical history of more than 3 months before diagnosis (HR = 2.77, p = 0.007), and radiotherapy history (HR = 3, p = 0.006) are risk factors for worse EFS. Conclusions Curative-intent surgery is irreplaceable in the treatment of SNM. The endoscopic approach is an effective alternative to the open approach. EFS is worse among patients with older age, R1 resection, sinonasal surgical history of more than 3 months before diagnosis, and radiotherapy history.

Abstract
Purpose of review The sinonasal tract is home to a uniquely heterogenous collection of malignant tumors. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been detected in a number of these, but the virus' role as an oncogenic driver or coincidental finding remains unclear. We aim to highlight five sinonasal tumor types and synthesize the prevalence, etiologic role, and known clinicopathologic relevance of HPV in each. Recent findings The last decade has seen an expansion of investigation into HPV's oncogenic and prognostic significance within sinonasal malignancies. The sinonasal tract poses challenges to HPV detection where p16 lacks value as an accurate surrogate. A growing body of data supports a potentially favorable clinical profile for certain sinonasal HPV-positive lesions. Summary HPV represents a potential biologically and clinically relevant factor for some sinonasal malignancies. Definitive conclusions regarding HPV's role as a potential oncogenic agent require routine testing using validated methodologies, genomic interrogation, and large-scale prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the last 2 decades, transnasal endoscopic surgery (TES) has become the most frequently employed surgical technique to treat sinonasal malignancies. The rarity and heterogeneity of sinonasal cancers have hampered large non-population-based analyses. METHODOLOGY All patients receiving TES-including treatment between 1995 and 2021 in 5 referral hospitals were included. A prognostic study was performed, and multivariable models were transformed into nomograms. Training and validation sets were based on results from 3 European and 2 non-European centres, respectively. RESULTS The training and validation set included 940 and 420 patients, respectively. The mean age at surgery, primary-versus-recurrent presentation, histology distribution, type of surgery, T category and type of adjuvant treatment were differently distributed in the training and validation set. In the training set, 5-year overall survival and recurrence-free survival with a 95%-confidence interval were 72.7% (69.5-76.0%) and 66.4% (63.1-69.8%), respectively, significantly varying with histology. At multivariable analyses, age, gender, previous treatment, the extent of resection on the cranial, lateral and posterolateral axes, grade/subtype, T category, nodal status, margin status and adjuvant treatment were all associated with different prognostic outcomes, displaying a heterogeneous significance and effect size according to histology. The internal and external validation of nomograms was satisfactory (optimism-corrected C-index >0.7 and cumulative area under curve >0.7) for all histologies but mucosal melanoma. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes of TES-based treatment of sinonasal cancers vary substantially with histology. This large, non-population-based study provides benchmark data on the prognosis of sinonasal cancers that are deemed suitable for treatment including TES.

Abstract
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is one of the least frequent carcinomas in the head and neck and accounts for 60% to 75% of sinonasal malignancies. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer development has drawn great attention over the years. The current study intended to assess the role and specific mechanism of lncRNA double homeobox A pseudogene 8 (DUXAP8) in SNSCC. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was implemented to assess the expression level of DUXAP8, microRNA-584-5p (miR-584-5p), and fibronectin type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B). Proliferation assays included colony formation assay, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Transwell assays were implemented to monitor cell migration and invasion. Cell apoptosis was evaluated via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and JC-1 experiments. Mechanism experiments included RNA pull-down assay, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, and luciferase reporter assay. DUXAP8 is overexpressed in SNSCC cells. Functionally, DUXAP8 silencing suppresses the malignant progression of SNSCC. Furthermore, DUXAP8 up-regulates the expression of FNDC3B via sponging miR-584-5p. Rescue experiments demonstrated that DUXAP8 mediates the progression of SNSCC via up-regulating FNDC3B expression. In conclusion, DUXAP8 acts as an oncogene in SNSCC, which may be a new molecular marker for SNSCC.

Abstract
Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma arising at the maxillary sinus is a rare neoplasm, characterized by an aggressive growth pattern and glooming prognosis. The proximity of the maxillary sinus with complex anatomical structures such as the eye, skull base, infratemporal fossa, pterygomaxillary fossa, nasal cavities, and ethmoid sinuses makes the surgical treatment of tumors infiltrating into these structures very challenging. The study's objective was to investigate the prognostic factors of survival and maxillary sinus SCC treatment outcomes. Methods We did a retrospective analysis of patients treated for maxillary sinus SCC at our institution between 2004 -2018. The study included all the patients with histologically proven maxillary sinus SCC treated with curative intent. The medical record of 43 patients was reviewed and utilized for the analysis. The Kaplan-Meier curve calculated five-year overall survival. Results A total of 43 patients were analyzed. At the presentation time, the mean age was 54.56 years (SD ± 11.65). Smoking (n=13, 30.2%) was the common risk factor. 36 (83.7%) patients presented with stage IV disease. Surgery was performed in 16 (37.2%) patients, whereas 27 (62.8%) patients received radiation and chemotherapy. Treatment failure was seen in 35 (81.4%) patients with locoregional recurrence in 30 (85.7%) patients and distant metastases in 5 (14.3%) patients. The five years overall survival in our study was 22%. Loco-regional recurrence and distant metastasis were the significant factors impacting survival (p=0.01). Conclusion Maxillary sinus SCC is rare cancer that is more common in males and usually presents at an advanced stage with a poor outcome. These tumors have a higher rate of treatment failure with a poor prognosis. Locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis adversely impact the overall survival.

Abstract
Objective To compare oncologic outcomes in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC)
treated with standard of care (SOC) definitive therapy, consisting of
surgery or chemoradiotherapy, vs induction therapy followed by definitive
therapy. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Academic tertiary care hospital. Methods The medical records of patients with biopsy-proven SNSCC treated between 2000
and 2020 were reviewed for demographics, tumor characteristics, staging,
treatment details, and oncologic outcomes. Patients were matched 1-to-1 by
age, sex, and cancer stage according to treatment received. Time-to-event
analyses were conducted. Results The analysis included 26 patients with locally advanced SNSCC who received
either induction therapy (n = 13) or SOC (n = 13). Baseline demographics,
Charlson Comorbidity Index, and median follow-up time were well balanced.
Weekly cetuximab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel were the most common induction
regimen utilized. Tolerance and safety to induction were excellent.
Objective responses were observed in 11 of 13 patients receiving induction.
No difference in disease-free survival was found between the induction and
SOC groups at 1 or 3 years. However, when compared with SOC, induction
therapy resulted in significant improvement in overall survival at 2 years
(100% vs 65.3%, P = .043) and 3 years (100% vs 48.4%,
P = .016) following completion of definitive therapy.
Two patients in the SOC group developed metastatic disease, as compared with
none in the induction group. Conclusions Induction therapy was safe and effective. When compared with SOC, induction
therapy improved 3-year overall survival.

Abstract
Objectives
Although adjuvant radiotherapy may be indicated in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) following primary surgery, some patients choose to forgo recommended post-operative radiation (PORT). This study aimed to elucidate factors associated with patient refusal of recommended PORT in SNSCC and examine overall survival.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of patients with SNSCC treated with primary surgery from the National Cancer Database diagnosed between 2004 and 2016. A multivariable logistic regression model was created to determine the association between clinical or demographic covariates and likelihood of PORT refusal. Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank tests, and a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model were used to assess overall survival.
Results
2231 patients were included in the final analysis, of which 1456 (65.3%) were male and 73 (3.3%) refused recommended PORT. Patients older than 74 years old were more likely to refuse PORT than those younger than 54 (OR 3.43, 95% CI: 1.84-6.62). Median survival among the entire cohort, those that received recommended PORT, and those that refused PORT was 83.0 months (95% CI: 74.6-97.1), 83.0 months (95% CI: 74.9-98.2), and 63.6 months (95% CI: 37.3-101.4). Refusal of PORT was not associated with overall survival (HR 0.99, 95% CI: 0.69-1.42).
Conclusions
PORT refusal in patients with SNSCC is rare and was found to be associated with several patient factors. The decision to forgo PORT is not independently associated with overall survival in this cohort. Further study is required to determine the clinical implications of these findings as the treatment decisions are complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal malignancies are a complex and diverse group of tumors. Over the past five decades, treatment advances have changed the management paradigms for these tumors. Our aim was to analyze the outcomes of patients from a comprehensive cancer center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed 400 patients with sinonasal malignancies treated with surgery at our center between 1973 and 2015. Multiple variables were reviewed to assess the influence on 5-year outcomes. RESULTS The median age was 56 years (IQR 46.8-68). Two hundred and fifty-nine (65%) were males and 141 (35%) were females. Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) improved in the last analyzed decade. Orbital invasion, advanced pT-classification and pN-classification, and melanoma histology were associated with poorer outcomes. CONCLUSION Treatment outcomes for patients with sinonasal malignancy have improved over time. This is likely multifactorial with advances in surgical technique, adjuvant treatment, and patient selection. pT-classification, pN-classification, orbital invasion, and histology are predictive of survival.

Abstract
Recurrent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations have been identified in a rare form of head and neck cancer known as sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), a malignant disease with a 5-year mortality rate of ~40%. Interestingly, the majority of EGFR mutations identified in patients with primary SNSCC are exon 20 insertions (Ex20ins), which is in contrast to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), where the EGFR exon 19 deletion and L858R mutations predominate. These studies demonstrate that EGFR Ex20ins mutations are not exclusive to lung cancer as previously believed, but are also involved in driving SNSCC pathogenesis. Here we review the landscape of EGFR mutations in SNSCC, with a particular focus on SNSCC associated with inverted sinonasal papilloma (ISP), a benign epithelial neoplasm. Taking lessons from NSCLC, we also discuss potential new treatment options for ISP-associated SNSCC harbouring EGFR Ex20ins in the context of targeted therapies, drug resistance and precision cancer medicine. Moving forward, further basic and translational work is needed to delineate the biology of EGFR Ex20ins in SNSCC in order to develop more effective treatments for patients with this rare disease.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer worldwide and comprise of a diverse group of tumours affecting the upper aerodigestive tract. Although many different histologies exist, the most common is squamous cell carcinoma. Predominant risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol abuse, and oncogenic viruses, including human papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus. Head and neck malignancies remain challenging to treat, requiring a multidisciplinary approach, with surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy serving as key components of the treatment of locally advanced disease. Although many treatment principles overlap, treatment is generally site-specific and histology-specific. This Seminar outlines the current understanding of head and neck cancer and focuses on treatment principles, while also discussing future directions to improve the outcomes of patients with these malignancies.

Abstract
Sphenoid sinus malignancies are rare diseases. Secondary hypopituitarism associated with sphenoid sinus malignancy is not well known. A 41-year-old male complained of right ptosis. Neurological findings revealed right oculomotor, trochlear and glossopharyngeal nerve palsy. Imaging diagnosis suggested a tumor that had spread bilaterally from the sphenoid sinus to the ethmoid sinus, nasopharynx and posterior pharyngeal space. Biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Based on these findings, a clinical diagnosis of SCC of the sphenoid sinus was made. Removal of the tumor without damaging nearby organs would have been difficult because the tumor extended to the bilateral optic nerves, optic chiasma and internal carotid artery, and surgeons, therefore, recommended proton beam therapy (PBT). Before PBT, the hypopituitarism occurred in the patient and we administered hydrocortisone and levothyroxine. During treating for hypopituitarism, we performed PBT with nedaplatin and 5-fluorouracil. The daily PBT fractions were 2.2 relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for the tumor received total dose of 81.4 Gy RBE. The acute side effect of grade 2 dermatitis according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Occurred after PBT. The patient needs to take hydrocortisone and levothyroxine, but he remains in complete remission 8 years after treatment without surgery or chemotherapy. Visual function is gradually declining, but there is no evidence of severe radiation-induced optic neuropathy.

[PMID: 34218257 DOI: 10.1038/s41379-021-00868-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The antitumor efficacies of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and the usefulness of potential predictive markers such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and microsatellite instability (MSI) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) have not been fully elucidated. We retrospectively analyzed 131 SNSCCs with immunohistochemistry for PD-L1 expression, TIL subpopulations and loss of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins as a surrogate for MSI-high. We also comprehensively evaluated the mutual relationships among these immuno-markers, high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene status, and KRAS mutation. PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score ≥ 1%) was detected in 60 (45.8%) SNSCC cases and was significantly associated with worse overall survival (OS) (p = 0.0240). High density of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)-positive TILs was significantly associated with better progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.0368), and high density of forkhead box protein P3-positive TILs was significantly associated with better PFS and OS (p = 0.0007 and 0.0143, respectively). With respect to the combination of CD8 + TIL and PD-L1 expression, the high-CD8/PD-L1-negative group showed the most favorable prognosis, whereas the low-CD8/PD-L1-positive group showed the worst prognosis. MMR loss was detected in 3 (2.3%) of the 131 cases. HPV infection (6.1%), EGFR mutation (14.5%), EGFR copy number gain (26%), and MMR loss were essentially mutually exclusive; patients in these molecular groups showed significant differences in prognosis but not in the degree of PD-L1 expression or TILs. Among the nine ICI-treated patients, three (33.3%) were responders, and the EGFR-wild type cases (n = 7) showed better clinical responses to an ICI compared to the EGFR-mutant cases (n = 2). Among the patients with residual/recurrent EGFR-wild type tumors (n = 43), ICI treatment significantly improved OS (p = 0.0281). The results suggest that the evaluation of immuno-markers and molecular subclassification may be helpful for prognostic prediction and selecting an individualized therapeutic strategy for patients with SNSCC.

Abstract
Acute and chronic upper respiratory illnesses such as asthma, and allergic rhinitis (AR) have been linked to the presence of microorganisms in the nose. Microorganisms can exist in symbiotic or commensal relationships with the human body. However, in certain cases, opportunistic pathogens can take over, leading to altered states (dysbiosis) and causing disease. Thus, the microflora present in a host can be useful to reflect health status. The human body contains 10 trillion to 100 trillion microorganisms. Of these populations, certain pathogens have been identified to promote or undermine wellbeing. Therefore, knowledge of the microbiome is potentially helpful as a diagnostic tool for many diseases. Variations have been recognized in the types of microbes that inhabit various populations based on geography, diet, and lifestyle choices and various microbiota have been shown to modulate immune responses in allergic disease. Interestingly, the diseases affected by these changes are prevalent in certain racial or ethnic populations. These prevalent microbiome variations in these groups suggest that the presence of these microorganisms may be significantly associated with health disparities. We review current research in the search for correlations between ethnic diversity, microbiome communities in the nasal cavity and health outcomes in neurological and respiratory functions.

Abstract
Introduction Sinonasal malignancies (SNMs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of cancers with an incidence of 3%-5% of all head-and-neck tumours. The aim of the present study was to identify the characteristic features of SNMs and to analyze the treatment outcomes and the prognostic factors affecting it. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of patients with SNM treated at a dedicated cancer center of Pakistan between 2004 and 2018 was carried out. All patients with histologically proven diagnosis of malignancy arising from nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses and being treated with curative intent were included. The medical records of 184 cases were utilized for final analysis. Chi-square test was applied to identify significant differences. Five-year disease-specific survival (DSS) was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curve via log-rank test and comparison was made between squamous and nonsquamous histologies. P ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histopathology (n = 62, 33.7%). 130 (70.7%) patients presented with stage IV disease. Nodal metastasis was seen in 24 (13%) patients. Treatment failure was seen in 96 (52.2%) patients and was significantly associated with tumour size and the overall stage. DSS of patients with squamous cell carcinoma was 29% as compared to 52% for patients with nonsquamous histologies (P = 0.001). Discussion SNM is a diverse group of cancers presenting in late stages. A higher rate of treatment failure associated significantly with stage of the disease was identified in our study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an established prognostic marker in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, the role of HPV in sinonasal carcinoma is being explored. OBJECTIVES This systematic review addresses the role of HPV in sinonasal cancer, establishing the occurrence of HPV-positive cancers and the influence of HPV-positivity on prognosis in sinonasal cancer as well as the utility of the putative surrogate marker of HPV (p16) in sinonasal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Studies were identified with searches of Medline via PubMed and Embase via OVID (4 May 2020). Articles on original research concerning sinonasal cancer and HPV in humans written in English were included. Case reports with less than five cases were excluded. RESULTS Initially, 545 articles were identified; 190 duplicate articles were removed leaving 355 articles for title/abstract screening. Title/abstract screening excluded 243 articles, leaving 112 studies assessed for eligibility. After full-text screening, 57 studies were included. All articles investigated the significance of HPV in sinonasal carcinomas. HPV was reported in approximately 30% of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), where it was associated with a better prognosis. In sinonasal cancer, p16 is associated with diagnostic pitfalls and a putative utility of p16 in SNSCC has yet to be established. HPV was not frequently reported in other types of sinonasal carcinomas, besides the recently described subtype, HPV-dependent Multiphenotypic Sinonasal Carcinoma. In other types of sinonasal carcinoma, HPV is not frequently found. CONCLUSION Approximately 30% of SNSCC are HPV-positive. HPV-positivity in SNSCC is associated with improved survival. HPV occurs only rarely in other sinonasal cancers. There is currently not sufficient evidence for p16 as a surrogate marker of HPV in SNSCC.

Abstract
Sinonasal malignancies rare and pathologically diverse and make up <1% of all malignancies. Due to their anatomical location, they can cause significant morbidity with involvement of surrounding critical structures. They often present at a late stage with insidious onset of symptoms. Treatment of sinonasal malignancies is challenging and they often require a multimodality approach with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Outcomes are poor with 5-year overall survival around 32%, but this varies greatly depending on histologic subtype. There is an urgent need for more randomized controlled trials to better define the appropriate therapeutic regimens and to improve clinical outcomes.

A Multicentre UK Study of Outcomes for Locally Advanced Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Adjuvant or Definitive Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy. Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol) 2021; 33:e450-e461.

Abstract
AIMS Sinonasal malignancies are rare; the most common histological subtype is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). No randomised trial data exist to guide treatment decisions, with options including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The role and sequence of a primary non-surgical approach in this disease remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to present treatment outcomes for a multicentre population of patients with locally advanced, stage IVa/b sinonasal SCC treated with radical-intent intensity-modulated radiotherapy, either definitively or postoperatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutively treated patients with locally advanced, stage IVa/b sinonasal SCC at four UK oncology centres between January 2012 and December 2017 were retrospectively identified. Descriptive statistics and survival analyses were carried out. Univariable Cox regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationship between patient, disease and treatment factors and survival outcomes. RESULTS In total, 56 patients with sinonasal SCC were included (70% maxillary sinus, 21% nasal cavity, 9% ethmoid/frontal sinus). Forty-one patients (73%) were treated by surgery/adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy and 15 (27%) by definitive (chemo)radiotherapy. The median duration of follow-up was 3.8 years (interquartile range 2.0-4.7 years). Estimates for 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 30.2% and 24.2%, respectively. Local, regional and distant treatment failures were seen in 33%, 33% and 16% of patients, respectively. Univariable analysis revealed inferior progression-free survival for patients treated with neck dissection (hazard ratio 2.6, 95% confidence interval 1.2-6.1, P = 0.022) but no other significant association between the studied factors and survival outcomes. CONCLUSION We show poor survival outcomes and high rates of locoregional treatment failure for patients with locally advanced stage IVa/b sinonasal SCC. There is a need to investigate improved treatments for this group of patients.

Abstract
There have been a few case reports and one small series of low grade papillary sinonasal (Schneiderian) carcinomas (LGPSC) which mimic papillomas but have overtly invasive growth and which occasionally metastasize. We describe the morphologic, clinical, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of five patients with LGPSC compared with eight cases each of inverted papilloma (IP) and conventional nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with papillary growth. All LGPSC were nested with predominantly pushing invasion, no stromal reaction, and frequent surface papillary growth. All consisted of one cell type only, with polygonal cells with round nuclei, no (or limited) cytologic atypia, low mitotic activity, and prominent neutrophilic infiltrate. One patient had slightly more infiltrative bone invasion, another lymphovascular, perineural, and skeletal muscle invasion, and a third nodal metastasis after 17 years. By comparison, IPs had bland cytology, neutrophilic microabscesses, mixed immature squamous, goblet cell, and respiratory epithelium, and extremely low mitotic activity. Nonkeratinizing SCCs had basaloid-appearing cells with nuclear pleomorphism, brisk mitotic activity, and apoptosis. All LGPSC were p63 positive. Mitotic activity and Ki67 indices were significantly higher for LGPSCs than IPs and significantly lower than NKSCCs, while p53 immunohistochemistry in LGPSC was identical to nonkeratinizing SCC and higher than for IP. Sequencing showed all five tumors to harbor a MUC6 mutation, one tumor to harbor CDKN2A and PIK3R1 mutations, and one tumor to harbor a NOTCH1 mutation. All LGPSC lacked EGFR and KRAS mutations and lacked copy number variations of any main cancer genes. At a median follow up of 12 months, two LGPSC recurred locally, and one patient died after massive local recurrences and nodal metastases. LGPSC is a distinct, de novo sinonasal carcinoma that can be differentiated from papillomas by morphology and selected immunohistochemistry.

Down-regulating NEAT1 inhibited the viability and vasculogenic mimicry formation of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma cells via miR-195-5p/VEGFA axis. Biosci Rep 2021; 40:226895.

Abstract
The role of long non-coding RNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (lncRNA NEAT1) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) remained obscure. Target genes and potential binding sites of NEAT1, microRNA (miR)-195-5p and VEGFA were predicted using StarBase and TargetScan, and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expressions of NEAT1, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and miR-195-5p. Pearson's correlation analysis of NEAT1, miR-195-5p and VEGFA was conducted. Cell viability, apoptosis and tube formation capability were assessed by MTT assay, flow cytometry and capillary-like tube formation assay, respectively. Expressions of VEGFA and proteins related to the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/Protein Kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway were measured by Western blot. In SNSCC tissues and cells, the expressions of NEAT1 and VEGFA were up-regulated while the expression of miR-195-5p was down-regulated, and NEAT1 was negatively correlated with miR-195-5p yet positively correlated with VEGFA. Overexpressed VEGFA promoted the viability and capillary-like tube formation of SNSCC cells yet suppressed their apoptosis, while silencing VEGFA led to the opposite results. MiR-195-5p could bind to NEAT1, and down-regulating miR-195-5p reversed the effects of silencing NEAT1 on the expressions of NEAT1 and miR-195-5p, cell viability, apoptosis and capillary-like tube formation as well as PI3K/AKT pathway activation. VEGFA was the target of miR-195-5p, and overexpressed VEGFA reversed the effects of miR-195-5p. Down-regulating NEAT1 inhibited the viability and vasculogenic mimicry formation of SNSCC cells yet promoted their apoptosis via the miR-195-5p/VEGFA axis, providing a possible therapeutic target for SNSCC treatment.

Abstract
Importance Overall, the prognosis of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is poor. This malignancy can arise de novo or from inverted papillomas, but it is unclear whether survival differences between the 2 pathologies exist. Objective To assess for survival differences between patients with sinonasal de novo SCC (dnSCC) and those with inverted papilloma-associated SCC (IPSCC). Data Sources A search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library from inception to January 23, 2020, with cross-referencing of retrieved studies, was performed. Additional data were requested from authors. Study Selection Inclusion and exclusion criteria were designed to capture studies with survival outcomes of adults with sinonasal SCC who underwent regular treatment. Clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series with more than 10 adults aged 18 years or older with sinonasal SCC were included. Exclusion criteria were studies on non-SCC sinonasal neoplasms, studies without histopathologic diagnoses, non-English language articles, nonhuman animal studies, and abstract-only articles. Two blinded investigators (J.J.L., A.M.P., T.W.E., or N.S.W.) screened each abstract and full text, and a third investigator (J.J.L. or P.P.) adjudicated discrepancies. Of 729 unique citations, 26 studies of 1194 total patients were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed. The Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) criteria were used to assess study quality. Two blinded investigators (J.J.L., A.M.P., T.W.E., or N.S.W.) independently extracted data from each study. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was overall survival, and secondary outcomes were disease-free and disease-specific survival. Before data collection, it was hypothesized that the dnSCC cohort would have worse survival outcomes than the IPSCC cohort. Results One study of patients with dnSCC, 12 studies of patients with IPSCC, and 5 studies with both cohorts were included in the meta-analysis of overall survival. The pooled 5-year overall survival rate for 255 patients with dnSCC was 56% (95% CI, 41%-71%; I2 = 83.8%) and for 475 patients with IPSCC was 65% (95% CI, 56%-73%; I2 = 75.7%). Five comparative studies of both cohorts totaling 240 patients with dnSCC and 155 patients with IPSCC were included in another meta-analysis. The pooled overall survival hazard ratio was 1.87 (95% CI, 1.24-2.84; I2 = 0%). Conclusions and Relevance This systematic review and meta-analysis found that patients with dnSCC had almost a 2-fold increased risk of mortality compared with those with IPSCC. Large, multicenter studies are necessary to validate these findings before considering treatment alterations such as de-escalation based on histopathology.

Abstract
Due to their low incidence and thus resulting limited diagnostic criteria as well as therapeutic options, rare diseases of the nose, the paranasal sinuses, and the anterior skull base are a significant challenge. The value as of which a disease has to be considered as rare amounts to a maximum of 5 patients per 10 000 people. Within these diseases, however, there are extreme differences. Some rare or orphan diseases like for example the inverted papilloma belong to regularly diagnosed and treated diseases of larger departments of oto-rhino-laryngology whereas other rare diseases and malformations have only been described in less than 100 case reports worldwide. This fact emphasizes the necessity of bundling the available experience of diagnostics and therapy. The present article gives an overview about rare diseases of the nose, the paranasal sinuses, and the anterior skull base from the field of diseases/syndromes of the olfactory system, malformations of the nose and paranasal sinuses, ventilation and functional disorders as well as benign and malignant tumors. The classification and data on diagnostic and therapeutic options were established based on the current literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the efficacy of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus (PNS) region. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred fourteen patients with tumors of the nasal cavity and PNS region treated with curative intent IMRT between 2007 and 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis. RESULTS Fifty-one (24.1%) received definitive RT/CTRT and 163 (75.9%) received adjuvant RT. Most common histology was squamous cell carcinoma (26.1%) followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (21.5%). The median follow-up was 43.5 months. The 5-year local control (LC), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort was 66.9%, 59%, and 73.9%, respectively. On univariate analysis treatment with nonsurgical modality, T classification and undifferentiated/poorly differentiated histology were associated with inferior 5-year LC, EFS, and OS. Four patients had late Grade 3/Grade 4 ocular toxicity. CONCLUSIONS IMRT should be the standard of care for tumors of PNS region across all histologies and treatment setting.

Treatment outcome and pattern of recurrence of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma with EGFR-mutation and human papillomavirus. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2021; 49:494-500. [PMID: 33676817 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2021.02.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of our study was to clarify the clinical features of EGFR-mutated sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) and human papilloma virus (HPV)-related SNSCC. Patients with SNSCC treated from April 2008 to June 2019 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. We examined EGFR mutation and HPV status for all patients. Main outcomes were overall survival, recurrence, and outcome of each treatment modality. A total of 85 patients with SNSCC were enrolled in this study. EGFR mutations and HPV DNA were detected in 24 (28%) and 7 (8%) patients, respectively. Patients with EGFR-mutated SNSCC showed a worse overall survival (OS) than those with EGFR wild-type in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.037). No death was observed in HPV-positive SNSCC. The cumulative incidence of local recurrence was significantly higher in EGFR mutant than EGFR wild-type tumors (p = 0.03). In patients with EGFR mutations, treatment with induction chemotherapy significantly improved OS (p = 0.01). EGFR-mutated SNSCC have a high-risk feature for recurrence and requires intensive attention for treatment and observation. A new treatment approach, such as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, may be needed.
