Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE No guidelines exist for the clinical target volume (CTV) and radiotherapy dose in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). Thus, we aimed to determine the carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) CTV and dose for SNMM. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 135 patients with SNMM who received CIRT were reviewed. The relative biological effectiveness-weighted dose was 57.6 or 64 Gy in 16 fractions. CTV was classified into small CTV, which included the gross tumor and visible melanosis within a certain margin, and extended CTV, which included the tumor site and adjacent anatomical structures. Local recurrence (LR) patterns were pattern I, II and III defined as recurrence over the gross tumor, visible melanosis and subclinical area, which would be covered if extended CTV was applied, and outside the extended CTV, respectively. RESULTS The 5-year LR rate was 35.3 %. The prescribed dose was not a significant risk factor for pattern I LR; however, 57.6 Gy for a large tumor was insufficient for local control. Using an extended CTV was significantly associated with a lower risk of pattern II LR, which did not occur in regions that received > 40 Gy. The 5-year pattern III LR rate was 6.4 %. CONCLUSION Utilizing an extended CTV in CIRT for SNMM is appropriate even for small tumors. Using a smaller CTV after an extended CTV of at least 40 Gy is recommended to reduce adverse events. Although the optimal dose for gross tumors remains unclear, the latest technology with 64 Gy showed good outcomes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive tumor with high metastatic potential and poor outcomes. Presenting symptoms are nonspecific, and the nasal cavity is the most common site of origin followed by the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Histopathologically, SNMMs are pleomorphic and predominantly composed of epithelioid cell type. Identifying these tumors requires a high index of suspicion for melanoma and the use of a panel of immunohistochemical markers when typical histopathological features are missing. Not infrequently, these tumors are undifferentiated and/or amelanotic. Currently, SNMM falls into 2 different staging systems proposed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, one for carcinoma of the nasal cavity and sinuses and the other for head and neck melanoma. Although therapeutic standards do not exist, surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy may offer the best outcome. Lymphadenectomy including possible parotidectomy and neck dissection should be considered in patients with regional lymph node metastasis. However, the role of elective lymph node dissection is controversial. Genetic profiling has identified a number of recurrent gene mutations that may prove useful in providing targets for novel, emerging biological treatments. In this article, we provide an update on clinicopathological features, staging, molecular discoveries, and treatment options for SNMM.

Phase I dose-escalation trial of S-1 combined with carbon-ion radiotherapy for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma. JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2020; 61:733-739.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the maximum tolerance dose (MTD) and to estimate the recommended dose (RD) of concomitant S-1 with carbon-ion radiotherapy (RT) for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Nine patients with sinonasal SCC received carbon-ion RT with escalating doses of S-1 according to phase I methods. Doses of 40, 60 and 80 mg/m2/day were administered twice daily in dose levels 1, 2 and 3, respectively, from days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35. Carbon-ion RT was administered at a dose of 70.4 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 32 fractions, 5 days a week. Two patients developed grade 3 acute dermatitis. However, none developed dose-limiting toxicities. Therefore, the MTD of S-1 could not be determined; the RD was estimated to be 80 mg/m2/day with concurrent carbon-ion RT. Partial response and stable disease were noted in 5 and 4 patients, respectively. The 2-year overall survival and local control rates were 56 and 74%, respectively. Overall, 2 patients developed ≥grade 3 late toxicities; among them, 1 patient developed grade 3 cataract and the other developed grade 4 cataract, optic nerve disorder and hearing impairment. To the best of our knowledge, this phase I study is the first clinical trial to evaluate concomitant S-1 with carbon-ion RT for sinonasal SCC. The MTD of S-1 could not be determined, and the RD was estimated to be 80 mg/m2/day. This study demonstrated a manageable safety profile for this combination. The observed outcomes may facilitate further evaluation of this novel therapy.

Abstract
Malignant melanomas (MMs) were the fifth most common cancer in men and the sixth most common cancer in women in 2018, respectively. These are characterized by high metastatic rates and poor prognoses. We systematically reviewed safety and efficacy of carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for treating MMs. Eleven studies were eligible for review, and the data showed that MM patients showed better local control with low recurrence and mild toxicities after CIRT. Survival rates were slightly higher in patients with cutaneous or uveal MMs than in those with mucosal MMs. CIRT in combination with chemotherapy produced higher progression-free survival rates than CIRT only. In younger patients, higher rates of distant metastases of gynecological MMs were observed. The data indicated that CIRT is effective and safe for treating MMs; however, a combination with systemic therapy is recommended to ensure the best possible prognosis for MMs.

Abstract
Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a highly lethal variant of melanoma that carries a poor prognosis. Extremely low incidence and survival rates have led to few clinical trials, and a lack of protocols and guidelines. The present study performed a survival meta-analysis for the quantitative synthesis of available evidence to search for key patterns that would help clinicians tailor optimal therapeutic strategies in MM. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and other databases were searched. Hazard ratios, in disease-specific and overall survival, were calculated for each of the survival-determining variables. MM was 2.25 times more lethal than cutaneous melanoma (CM). The most significant threats to survival were advanced Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage, sino-nasal location, and old age. Chemotherapy was the most effective form of adjuvant therapy. Disease-specific survival, the primary measure of the effect sizes, can fluctuate depending on the accuracy of the reported cause of mortality. In conclusion, MM is a peculiar type of melanoma, with clinical and molecular profile vastly different from the much-familiar CM. In the wake of the era of precision oncology, further studies on driver mutations and oncogenic pathways would likely lead to improved patient survival.
