Next-generation sequencing reveals remarkable genetic stability in primary and corresponding recurrent intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma. Head Neck 2024; 46:2010-2019. [PMID: 38362701 DOI: 10.1002/hed.27694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) can occur several years after primary treatment and with different histology. We aimed to clarify if such recurrences could be second primary tumors and to identify actionable mutations as targets for personalized treatment of recurrent ITAC. METHODS Twelve pairs of primary and recurrent ITAC were histologically examined and analyzed by next-generation sequencing. RESULTS Histological differences between primary and recurrent tumor pairs were observed in five cases. Frequent mutations included TP53, APC, TSC2, ATM, EPHA2, BRCA2, LRP1B, KRAS, and KMT2B. There was 86% concordance of somatic mutations between the tumor pairs, while four cases carried additional mutations in the recurrence. CONCLUSIONS We found all cases to be clonal recurrences and not second primary tumors. Moreover, tumor pairs showed a remarkable genomic stability, suggesting that personalized treatment of a recurrence may be based on actionable molecular genetic targets observed in the primary tumor.

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.

Tumor Budding, p53, and DNA Mismatch Repair Markers in Sinonasal Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Study Supports the Adverse Prognostic Impact of Tumor Budding. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1895. [PMID: 38791973 PMCID: PMC11120584 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a very rare, closely occupational-related tumor with strong histological similarities to colorectal cancer (CRC). In the latter, tumor budding (TB) is widely recognized as a negative prognostic parameter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of TB in ITAC and to correlate it with other established or emerging biomarkers of the disease, such as p53 and deficient DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system status/microsatellite instability (MSI). We retrospectively analyzed 32 consecutive specimens of patients with ITAC diagnosis treated in two institutions in Northern Italy. We reviewed surgical specimens for TB evaluation (low-intermediate/high); p53 expression and MMR proteins were evaluated via immunohistochemistry. Results were retrospectively stratified using clinical data and patients' outcomes. According to bud counts, patients were stratified into two groups: intermediate/high budding (>4 TB) and low budding (≤4 TB). Patients with high TB (>4) have an increased risk of recurrence and death compared to those with low TB, with a median survival of 13 and 54 months, respectively. On multivariate analysis, considering TB, therapy, and stage as covariates, TB emerged as an independent prognostic factor net of the stage of disease or type of therapy received. No impact of p53 status as a biomarker of prognosis was observed and no alterations regarding MMR proteins were identified. The results of the present work provide further significant evidence on the prognostic role of TB in ITAC and underline the need for larger multicenter studies to implement the use of TB in clinical practice.

Abstract
Sinonasal (SN) malignancies are rare. Within SN adenocarcinomas, the most frequent are intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (ITACs). ITAC has been associated with wood and leather dust occupational exposure and TP53 mutations. Not much information is available regarding its characterization and treatment. The aim of this study is to characterize the clinicopathologic and prognostic factors of patients with sinonasal adenocarcinomas (SNACs) treated in our tertiary-level hospital. A retrospective, consecutive study including SNAC patients diagnosed between 2004-2023 was conducted. Clinicopathological data was collected, and p53 status was assessed in the tumor specimens. The association between p53 status and clinicopathological variables, as well as their impact on survival, was evaluated. In total, 35 were included, most of them having ITAC (91.4%) with papillary subtype (37.5%); the majority were subjected to occupational risk exposure (82.9%). Overexpression of p53 was identified in 48.6% of the tumors. Papillary and colonic subtypes were associated with higher median progression-free survival (mPFS) than mucinous and solid subtypes (mPFS 37 months, 95% CI, 20.0-54.0, vs. 9 months, 95% CI, 7.15-10.85, p=0.01); the former was also associated with higher median overall survival (mOS) (mOS 64 months, 95% CI, 37.18-90.81 vs. 14 months, 95% CI, 0-41.58, p=0.02). Histologic grade 1-2 and macroscopic complete resection were associated with higher PFS (PFS of five months of 90.9% vs. 33.3%, p=0.01; mPFS of 37 months, 95% CI, 4.93-69.07 vs. 10 months, 95% CI, 6.43-13.57, p=0.04, respectively). Disease recurrence with distant metastases was associated with lower OS (11 months, 95% CI, 6.1-15.9 vs. 53 months, 95% CI, 22.70-83.30, p=0.04). This study reinforces the importance of protective occupational measures. Future studies will be important to validate the best treatment strategy in the advanced stages of this disease and also to identify new prognostic and/or therapeutic target biomarkers in SNAC.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenetics studies mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and alternative polyadenylation that can modify gene activity without changing the underlying DNA nucleotide base-pair structure. Because these changes are reversible, they have potential in developing novel therapeutics. Currently, seven pharmaceutical agents targeting epigenetic changes are FDA approved and commercially available for treatment of certain cancers. However, studies investigating epigenetics in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have not been undertaken previously in the United States. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate sinonasal DNA methylation patterns in CRS versus controls, to discern environmentally-induced epigenetic changes impacting CRS subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Ethmoidal samples from CRS and inferior turbinate mucosal tissue samples from controls without CRS were studied. DNA methylation was studied by Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. RADMeth® biostatistical package was used to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between CRS and controls. Ingenuity Pathway analysis of DMRs was performed to identify top upstream regulators and canonical pathways. Ninety-three samples from 64 CRS subjects (36 CRSwNP; 28 CRSsNP) and 29 controls were studied. CRS and control samples differed in 13 662 CpGs sites and 1381 DMRs. Top upstream regulators identified included: 1. CRS versus controls: TGFB1, TNF, TP53, DGCR8, and beta-estradiol. 2. CRSwNP versus controls: TGFB1, CTNNB1, lipopolysaccharide, ID2, and TCF7L2. 3. CRSsNP versus controls: MYOD1, acetone, ID2, ST8SIA4, and LEPR. CONCLUSIONS Differential patterns of methylation were identified between controls and CRS, CRSwNP, and CRSsNP. Epigenetic, environmentally-induced changes related to novel, inflammatory, immunologic, and remodeling pathways appear to affect epithelial integrity, cell proliferation, homeostasis, vascular permeability, and other yet uncharacterized pathways and genes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Construction workers face an elevated risk for several types of cancer. Nevertheless, there is a lack of large-scale epidemiological studies examining the risk of all cancers in construction workers. This study aimed to investigate the risk of various cancers in male construction workers using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database. METHODS We used data from the NHIS database from 2009 to 2015. Construction workers were identified using the Korean Standard Industrial Classification code. We calculated the age-standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cancer occurrence in male construction workers compared to all male workers. RESULTS Compared to all male workers, the SIRs for esophageal cancer (SIR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.42) and malignant neoplasms of the liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (SIR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.24) were significantly higher in male construction workers. The SIRs for malignant neoplasms of the urinary tract (SIR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.35) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.43) were significantly elevated in building construction workers. The SIR for malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus, and lung (SIR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.29) was significantly higher in heavy and civil engineering workers. CONCLUSIONS Male construction workers have an increased risk for esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and non- Hodgkin's cancer. Our results indicate that tailored strategies for cancer prevention should be developed for construction workers.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sinonasal tumors are a rare heterogenous group of pathologies with poor prognosis. In recent years better definition and understanding of histology, molecular classification, biological behavior and advances in therapy have resulted in improved prognosis. The purpose of this review is to give an updated summary of the recent advances in treatment, and where relevant, with references to pathology classifications. RECENT FINDINGS Recent publications highlight the role of induction chemotherapy and advances in radiotherapy in advanced cancers. In addition, better understanding of genomics and histology specific treatment algorithms has led to more tailored treatment approaches. The role of immunotherapy and targeted therapy are yet to be explored. SUMMARY This review gives an up to date summary of the advances in contemporary management strategies for locally advanced sinonasal malignancies and can serve as a guide for researchers and clinicians.

Abstract
Sinonasal neoplasms are uncommon diseases, characterized by heterogeneous biological behavior, which frequently results in challenges in differential diagnosis and treatment choice. The aim of this review was to examine the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of tumor initiation and growth, in order to better define diagnostic and therapeutic strategies as well as the prognostic impact of these rare neoplasms. A systematic review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis criteria was conducted between September and November 2022. The authors considered the three main histological patterns of sinonasal tumors, namely Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma, and Olfactory Neuroblastoma. In total, 246 articles were eventually included in the analysis. The genetic and epigenetic changes underlying the oncogenic process were discussed, through a qualitative synthesis of the included studies. The identification of a comprehensive model of carcinogenesis for each sinonasal cancer subtype is needed, in order to pave the way toward tailored treatment approaches and improve survival for this rare and challenging group of cancers.

Abstract
Simple Summary The risk of developing cancers varies depending on occupation, which is a well-known fact. It is crucial to investigate the risk of developing gastrointestinal (GI) cancer in the entire industry. In this study, we calculated the standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of GI cancer by all industrial sectors as classified in the Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC). There were noticeable differences among industries in the risk of GI cancer. The SIR of all GI cancer was highest among miners and quarriers, and second highest among transportation workers. These results suggest that further research is required to identify the risk factors present in each industry that contribute to the development of GI cancers. We believe this study can help to create tailored cancer prevention strategies for different industrial sectors. Abstract To compare the risk of developing gastrointestinal (GI) cancer according to industrial groups, we performed a retrospective cohort study using the database of the Korea National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). We calculated the age-standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the types of GI cancers according to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC) compared with the whole employee population. The highest SIR for all GI cancer was found in the “Mining and quarrying” section (SIR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14–1.47), followed by the “Transportation and storage” section (SIR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.24–1.30). Miners and quarriers had the highest risk of developing gastric cancer (SIR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.06–1.55) and cancer of the liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (SIR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.17–1.86). Transportation workers had the highest SIR of cancer of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx (SIR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.13–1.43) and cancers of the rectum, anus, and anal canal (SIR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.19–1.35). There were distinct GI cancers with an elevated risk in each industry group. Our findings imply that distinct cancer prevention programs should be developed for each industrial sector.

Abstract
Background: There is a paucity of reporting on recurrence patterns of de-novo sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (DN-SCC) and inverted-papilloma-transformed sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (IP-SCC). Method: A systematic literature review queried studies comparing recurrence patterns in patients with both DN-SCC and IP-SCC. Primary outcomes included local and regional recurrence and rates of distant metastasis. Of the 595 studies screened, eight were included. Results: Patients with DN-SCC had significantly higher rates of positive margins, advanced T classification (T3/T4), treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There were no significant differences in local recurrence or regional recurrence. Overall risk of distant metastasis was lower in IP-SCC. DN-SCC, compared to IP-SCC, is more likely to present with advanced TNM classification and have positive margins after surgical resection, which may affect rates of distant metastasis and recurrence. Conclusions: The findings in this study suggest IP-SCC may be a less aggressive malignancy compared to DN-SCC, with the possibility of a reduced role for adjuvant therapy in IP-SCC. Further studies are required to better understand differences in tumor biology and treatments strategies between IP-SCC and DN-SCC.

Towards a Molecular Classification of Sinonasal Carcinomas: Clinical Implications and Opportunities. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14061463. [PMID: 35326613 PMCID: PMC8946109 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14061463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary In recent years, there have been several molecular and immunohistochemical additions to the pathologic diagnosis of sinonasal malignancies that could facilitate the identification of clinically relevant groups of sinonasal malignancies. Molecular profiling is progressively integrated in the histopathologic classification of sinonasal carcinomas, and it is likely to influence the management of these tumors in the near future. In this article we review the recent literature on molecular analysis and/or subtyping of sinonasal carcinomas and we discuss the possible clinical implications of a classification of sinonasal tumors based on their molecular features. Abstract Sinonasal carcinomas are a heterogeneous group of rare tumors, often with high-grade and/or undifferentiated morphology and aggressive clinical course. In recent years, with increasing molecular testing, unique sinonasal tumor subsets have been identified based on specific genetic alterations, including protein expression, chromosomal translocations, specific gene mutations, or infection by oncogenic viruses. These include, among others, the identification of a subset of sinonasal carcinomas associated with HPV infection, the identification of a subset of squamous cell carcinomas with EGFR alterations, and of rare variants with chromosomal translocations (DEK::AFF2, ETV6::NTRK and others). The group of sinonasal adenocarcinomas remains very heterogeneous at the molecular level, but some recurrent and potentially targetable genetic alterations have been identified. Finally, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated sinonasal carcinomas have undergone a significant refinement of their subtyping, with the identification of several new novel molecular subgroups, such as NUT carcinoma, IDH mutated sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and SWI/SNF deficient sinonasal malignancies. Thus, molecular profiling is progressively integrated in the histopathologic classification of sinonasal carcinomas, and it is likely to influence the management of these tumors in the near future. In this review, we summarize the recent developments in the molecular characterization of sinonasal carcinomas and we discuss how these findings are likely to contribute to the classification of this group of rare tumors, with a focus on the potential new opportunities for treatment.

Abstract
The World Health Organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumours recently published the 5th edition. There are new entities, emerging entities, and significant updates to the taxonomy and characterization of tumor and tumor-like lesions, specifically in this article as it relates to nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and skull base. Importantly, the number of diagnostic entries has been reduced by creating category-specific chapters for soft tissue, hematolymphoid, melanocytic, neuroectodermal, and metastatic tumors. Bone and salivary gland tumors are also not separately reported in the sinonasal tract, but included in the jaw and salivary gland sections, respectively. Repetition of characteristic entities in each anatomic site was also reduced, instead highlighting only the unique features in each anatomic site. Two new entities (SWI/SNF complex-deficient sinonasal carcinomas and HPV-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma) will be highlighted in this review, with a discussion of several emerging entities. There is a short description of updated information for all 24 diagnostic entities included in this edition to allow the reader a snapshot of current state of knowledge, but to encourage more investigation and further broaden understanding of these diverse and rare entities.

Leivo I, Holmila R, Luce D, Steiniche T, Dictor M, Heikkilä P, Husgafvel-Pursiainen K, Wolff H. Occurrence of Sinonasal Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma and Non-Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma in Two Countries with Different Patterns of Wood Dust Exposure. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:5245. [PMID: 34680393 PMCID: PMC8533857 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13205245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is strongly associated with hardwood dust exposure. Non-intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is a rarer and less well-known subtype considered not to be related with wood dust exposure. We determined the relative numbers of these two tumor types in 56 sinonasal adenocarcinoma patients in France and Finland, relating them with carefully assessed wood dust exposure histories. Diagnostic workup including immunohistochemistry for the intestinal markers CDX2 and CK20 indicated that the proportions of the two tumors differed significantly between France and Finland. In Finnish samples non-intestinal adenocarcinomas were more common than intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (12 non-intestinal vs. nine intestinal), while in the French samples the reverse was true (six non-intestinal vs. 29 intestinal). Such remarkably dissimilar occurrence of these tumors in France and Finland presumably reflects different pathogenetic circumstances in the two countries, and perhaps their different patterns of wood dust exposure. In France the main source of wood dust is from hardwoods. In Finland it is derived from softwoods. This is the first systematic comparison of the occurrence of intestinal-type adenocarcinoma and non-intestinal-type adenocarcinoma in two countries with different wood usage. It appears to be the first systematic study on differences in wood dust exposure between intestinal-type adenocarcinoma and non-intestinal-type adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Tumors of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (TuNSs) are rare and heterogeneous malignancies, presenting different histological features and clinical behavior. We reviewed the literature about etiology, biology, and clinical features of TuNSs to define pathologic features and possible treatment strategies. From a diagnostic point of view, it is mandatory to have high expertise and perform an immunohistochemical assessment to distinguish between different histotypes. Due to the extreme rarity of these neoplasms, there are no standard and evidence-based therapeutic strategies, lacking prospective and large clinical trials. In fact, most studies are retrospective analyses. Surgery represents the mainstay of treatment of TuNSs for small and localized tumors allowing complete tumor removal. Locally advanced lesions require more demolitive surgery that should be always followed by adjuvant radio- or chemo-radiotherapy. Recurrent/metastatic disease requires palliative chemo- and/or radiotherapy. Many studies emphasize the role of specific genes mutations in the development of TuNSs like mutations in the exons 4-9 of the TP53 gene, in the exon 9 of the PIK3CA gene and in the promoter of the TERT gene. In the near future, this genetic assessment will have new therapeutic implications. Future improvements in the understanding of the etiology, biology, and clinical features of TuNSs are warranted to improve their management.

Abstract
Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare tumor carrying poor prognosis and needing new treatment options. The aim of this study was to identify actionable gene mutations that can guide new personalized target-specific therapies in ITAC patients. A series of 48 tumor and 27 corresponding germline DNA samples were analyzed by next generation sequencing using a panel of 120 genes. In total, 223 sequence variants were found in 70 genes. Matched tumor/germline comparison in 27 cases revealed that 57% were in fact germline variants. In 20 of these 27 cases, 58 somatic variants in 33 different genes were identified, the most frequent being PIK3CA (5 cases), APC and ATM (4 cases), and KRAS, NF1, LRP1B and BRCA1 (3 cases). Many of the somatic gene variants affected PI3K, MAPK/ERK, WNT and DNA repair signaling pathways, although not in a mutually exclusive manner. None of the alterations were related to histological ITAC subtype, tumor stage or survival. Our data showed that thorough interpretation of somatic mutations requires sequencing analysis of the corresponding germline DNA. Potentially actionable somatic mutations were found in 20 of 27 cases, 8 of which being biomarkers of FDA-approved targeted therapies. Our data implicate new possibilities for personalized treatment of ITAC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare disease with considerable histologic diversity. Currently, there is a poor understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of SNSCC. Here, we review recent literature to summarize what is known regarding (1) the etiology of SNSCC, (2) the role of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in SNSCC, and (2) the molecular underpinnings of SNSCC. RECENT FINDINGS 1. High risk HPVappears to play a role in the pathogenesis of a subset of SNSCCs. SNSCCs with high risk HPV have improved survival compared with those without HPV and occur in patients who are younger, similar to HPV mediated oropharyngeal cancer. 2. A subset of inverted papillomas have transcriptionally active low-risk HPV and have a higher risk of transformation, while low risk HPV negative inverted papillomas frequently have EGFR mutations. SUMMARY SNSCC is a diverse disease with likely multiple etiologies including carcinogen, irritant exposure, and HPV. While not definitively proven, evidence supports a role for high-risk HPV in a subset of SNSCC, and low-risk HPV in a subset of inverted papillomas which transform to SNSCC. In-depth molecular and genomic studies are needed in SNSCC to better understand the genomic underpinnings and oncogenic drivers.

External Airborne-agent Exposure Increase Risk of Digestive Tract Cancer. Sci Rep 2020; 10:8617.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that in addition to respiratory system cancers, exposure to external airborne agents (EAAs) may also affect the risk of digestive tract cancer. However, previous epidemiological studies have been limited. To clarify this relationship, we conducted a Workers’ Korea National Health Insurance Service cohort study. The EAA exposure group comprised participants who had ever visited a hospital as an inpatient for ‘lung diseases due to external agents’. The reference population comprised men from the general working population. The EAA exposure group and reference group included a total of 98,666 and 79,959,286 person-years, respectively. Age-adjusted standardized incident rates (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated for each 5-year age stratum. The SIR (95% CI) of EAA exposure was 1.30 (1.19–1.38) for all digestive tract cancers. The highest risk associated with EAA exposure was observed for oral cancer, followed by esophageal and stomach cancers [SIRs (95%CI): 3.96 (3.02–4.78), 3.47(2.60–4.25), and 1.34(1.17–1.47), respectively.] These statistically significant associations did not be attenuated in a subgroup analysis using logistic regression adjusted for age, smoking and alcohol consumption. Our findings suggest that EAA exposure should address risk reduction of both digestive tract and respiratory system cancers.

Abstract
The sinonasal cavities harbor a wide variety of histologically distinct cancers, the majority very aggressive with 5-year survival rates between 30-60% and local recurrence as the main cause of death. This is a complex anatomic area, close to structures such the eyes and the brain, which is of special relevance for surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. The low incidence of these rare tumors hampers accumulation of experience with diagnosis and clinical managment as well as knowledge on recurrent genetic aberrations or testing of new treatment strategies. However, recent years have seen a growing number of publications on genetic aberrations providing data that can aid or fine-tune classification and provide molecular targets for treatment with specific inhibitors. In addition, new sinonasal cancer models are created that enable preclinical testing of candidate inhibitor drugs. With more and more novel targeted therapies being developed, options for personalized treatment of sinonasal cancer patients are now opening up.

Abstract
Objectives Sinonasal adenocarcinoma (AC) is a potentially curable disease despite being an aggressive malignancy. Long-term survival can be achieved with early diagnosis and adequate multidisciplinary treatment. Our goal was to evaluate outcomes for patients with AC treated at our institution. Design In a population-based consecutive prospective cohort, we conducted an analysis of all patients treated for surface epithelial AC between 1995 and 2018. Results Twenty patients were included, and follow-up was 100%. The mean follow-up time was 89 months for the entire cohort (112 months for patients with no evidence of disease). Intestinal-type AC was found in 65%, whereas nonintestinal-type AC was found in 35% of all cases; 75% had stage T3/4 disease. Tumor grade was intermediate/high in 65%. Eighteen patients underwent treatment with curative intent (craniofacial resection [CFR] in 61%, transfacial approach in 39%, adjuvant radiotherapy in 89%), achieving negative margins in 56% of cases. Overall survival (OS) rates were 90, 68, and 54% after 2, 5, and 10 years of follow-up, respectively, and the corresponding disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were 90, 73, and 58%. Age over 60 years, tumor with a maxillary origin, and microscopic bone invasion were negative prognostic factors. Radical CFR was correlated with better OS and DSS. Conclusion The high probability of achieving radicality with CFR, the low complication rate, the acceptable toxicity of modern irradiation modalities, and the promising survival rates indicate that this strategy might be considered a safe and an effective option for treating patients with very advanced sinonasal AC.

Abstract
The management of sinonasal cancer is a challenge due to its low occurrence and anatomical and significant diversity of histological types. The therapeutic modality used should be tailored individually according to the histology, tumour stage, molecular profile and previous treatments. The clinical management of sinonasal cancer has improved greatly owing to developments in endoscopic surgery and precision radiotherapy. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of sinonasal malignancies' management but multimodality therapy is associated with improved outcomes in certain histologies. The recognition of various histological types with biological behaviours more suitable for non-surgical modalities has allowed treatment protocols to become more tailored to the disease. In this review we aim to describe and to summarise the current data guiding the management of sinonasal cancer with emphasis on phenotypic variation.

Abstract
Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is the second most frequent sinonasal adenocarcinoma. High incidence of these tumors is seen among workers with occupational wood dust exposure, particularly of hardwood dusts. Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma has striking histomorphologic and immunophenotypic similarities with colorectal adenocarcinomas, but on the level of molecular pathologic mechanisms these tumors have their own specific features different from gastrointestinal tumors. This article provides an update on current histopathologic classification of intestinal-type adenocarcinomas, their immunophenotypic properties, recent advances in molecular pathologic features and differential diagnostic considerations.

Aberrant Expression Profile of Long Noncoding RNA in Human Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Microarray Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:1095710. [PMID: 28044124 PMCID: PMC5156798 DOI: 10.1155/2016/1095710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2016] [Accepted: 11/08/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Objectives. This study aimed to identify aberrantly expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) profile of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) and explore their potential functions. Methods. We investigated lncRNA and mRNA expression in SSCC and paired adjacent noncancerous tissues obtained from 6 patients with microarrays. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and pathway analysis were utilized to investigate the gene function. Gene signal-network and lncRNA-mRNA network were depicted. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to validate 5 lncRNAs in a second set of paired SSCC and adjacent noncancerous tissues obtained from 22 additional patients. Results. We identified significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs (n = 3146) and mRNAs (n = 2208) in SSCC relative to noncancerous tissues. The GO annotation indicated that there are some core gene products that may be attributed to the progress of SSCC. The pathway analysis identified many pathways associated with cancer. The results of lncRNA-mRNA network and gene signal-network implied some core lncRNAs/mRNAs might play important roles in SSCC pathogenesis. The results of qRT-PCR showed that all of the 5 lncRNAs were differentially expressed and consistent with the microarray results. Conclusion. Our study is the first screening and analysis of lncRNAs expression profile in SSCC and may offer new insights into pathogenesis of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify epigenetic events in intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) and sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) and to evaluate their relation to clinicopathologic features and follow-up data. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Academic research hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The methylation status of 23 genes in 50 ITACs and 32 SNSCCs was analyzed by methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and its relation to clinicopathologic features and follow-up data. RESULTS Gene methylation was observed in 50% of all tumors. Recurrent methylated genes in SNSCC were RASSF1 and CDH13 (for both, 6 of 32 cases), CHFR (4 of 32 cases), and TIMP3 (2 of 32 cases). None of these genes showed significant correlation to clinicopathologic features or overall survival. In ITAC, recurrent methylated genes were CDH13 (18 of 50 cases), ESR1 (13 of 50 cases), APC (7 of 50 cases), TIMP3 (5 of 50 cases), CASP8 (3 of 50 cases), and HIC1 and RASSF1 (for both, 2 of 50 cases). Papillary and colonic ITAC subtypes carried a mean of 1.26 gene methylations per tumor versus 0.63 in solid and mucinous subtypes. Methylation of TIMP3 was associated with a significantly worse survival in ITAC patients. CONCLUSION ITAC carries a higher number and a different profile of gene methylations as compared with SNSCC. Gene methylation plays a greater role in papillary and colonic ITAC subtypes, which may indicate a different tumorigenic pathway for these ITAC subtypes. These findings could be used as prognosticators and may have implications for future individualized therapies based on epigenetic changes.

Abstract
Adenocarcinomas of the sinonasal tract may originate from respiratory surface epithelium or the underlying seromucinous glands. These malignancies are divided into salivary-type adenocarcinomas and non-salivary-type adenocarcinomas. The latter are further divided into intestinal-type and nonintestinal-type adenocarcinomas. This review provides an update on tumor classification, differential diagnostic considerations and molecular features, as well as new adenocarcinoma entities in the sinonasal area.

Epstein-Barr virus infection is strictly associated with the metastatic spread of sinonasal squamous-cell carcinomas. Oral Oncol 2015; 51:929-34.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal squamous-cell carcinomas (SNSCC) are relatively rare. Thus, data regarding the rate of lymph node metastases are inconsistent in contrast with well-known high metastasis rates in squamous-cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) (oral cavity, pharynx and larynx). Hence, the indication for elective neck dissection is difficult in SNSCC. The aim of this study was to assess common genetic alterations and EBV and HPV status as a function of metastasis in SNSCC and HNSCC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 44 SNSCC and 65 HNSCC for TP53, EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA and BRAF mutations using a high-resolution melting analysis followed by Sanger sequencing. EBV and HPV detection was performed using in situ hybridization for virus encoded RNA. Tumor-associated p16(INK4a) expression was visualized by immunohistochemistry and correlated with HPV infection. The mutation data, EBV and HPV status were statistically compared with the clinical data in SNSCC and HNSCC. RESULTS TP53 mutations were exclusively associated with shorter survival in SNSCC (p=0.048). All the other markers had no effect on the metastasis rate and survival. In total, 20 of 44 SNSCC were EBV-positive. Only these EBV positive tumors developed lymph node or distant metastases (p=0.008). LMP1 was positive in 14/44 patients. When combining both methods significance for a correlation between EBV/LMP1 positive patients and metastases was even higher (p=0.001). CONCLUSION In SNSCC, the presence of EBV is strictly associated with metastasis. We recommend an elective neck dissection in patients with EBV-positive SNSCC.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the potential genes or pathways related to venous thromboembolism (VTE) and expected our findings could contribute to the development of new target drugs for VTE. The gene expression profile of GSE19151 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The bioinformatics methods were applied to screen the feature genes and pathways related with VTE. A total of 115 DEGs were identified, including 25 downregulated genes and 90 upregulated genes. Function enrichment analysis showed that upregulated genes of VTE were mainly enriched in ribosome and translation-related pathways, while downregulated genes were mainly enriched in cytoskeletal protein binding and non-membrane-bounded organelle-related pathways. MCL1, TP53, and RERE were three outstanding genes involved in the interaction network. The most significant pathways enriched by module genes were ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation. Moreover, all the products of the 18 genes enriched in ribosome (hsa03010) were ribosomal proteins. Ribosome, translation, actin binding, and non-membrane-bounded organelle pathways were closely related to the development of VTE. Moreover, MCL1, TP53, and RERE might play key roles in the process of VTE.

Abstract
Background Sinonasal cancer (SNC) has been related to occupational exposures, but the relative risk associated to specific jobs and/or carcinogen exposures other than wood and leather dust is generally based on small or inadequate sample sizes and the range of observed estimates is large. This paper is aimed at investigating such relationship through a systematic review of the literature followed by a meta-analysis of studies meeting specific inclusion criteria. Methods Systematic search was made with PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus engines using related keywords. Occupational exposures include wood and leather dust, formaldehyde, nickel and chromium compounds, textile industry, farming and construction. Meta-analysis of published studies after 1985 with a case-control or cohort design was performed, firstly using the fixed-effect model. Heterogeneity was assessed with the Q statistical test and quantified by the I2 index. When the heterogeneity hypothesis appeared relevant, the random-effect model was chosen. Sources of heterogeneity were explored using subgroup analyses. Results Out of 63 reviewed articles, 28 (11 cohort, 17 case-control) were used in the meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among studies was observed and random-effects models were used. Exposure to wood dust results associated with SNC (RRpooled = 5.91, 95% CI: 4.31-8.11 for the case-control studies and 1.61, 95% CI: 1.10-2.37 for the cohort studies), as well as to leather dust (11.89, 95% CI: 7.69-18.36). The strongest associations are with adenocarcinomas (29.43, 95% CI: 16.46-52.61 and 35.26, 95% CI: 20.62-60.28 respectively). An increased risk of SNC for exposures to formaldehyde (1.68, 95% CI: 1.37-2.06 for the case control and 1.09, 95% CI: 0.66-1.79 for the cohort studies), textile industry (2.03, 95% CI: 1.47-2.8), construction (1.62, 95% CI: 1.11-2.36) and nickel and chromium compounds (18.0, 95% CI: 14.55-22.27) was found. Subset analyses identified several sources of heterogeneity and an exposure-response relationship was suggested for wood dust (p = 0.001). Conclusions By confirming the strength of association between occupational exposure to causal carcinogens and SNC risk, our results may provide indications to the occupational etiology of SNC (not only wood and leather dusts). Future studies could be focused on specific occupational groups to confirm causative agents and to define appropriate preventive measures.

Abstract
Identification of specific molecular changes (fingerprints) is important to identify cancer etiology. Exploitable biomarkers are related to DNA, epigenetics, and proteins. DNA adducts are the turning point between environmental exposures and biological damage. DNA mutational fingerprints are induced by carcinogens in tumor suppressor and oncogenes. In an epigenetic domain, methylation changes occurs in specific genes for arsenic, benzene, chromium, and cigarette smoke. Alteration of specific microRNA has been reported for environmental carcinogens. Benzo(a)pyrene, cadmium, coal, and wood dust hits specific heat-shock proteins and metalloproteases. The multiple analysis of these biomarkers provides information on the carcinogenic mechanisms activated by exposure to environmental carcinogens.

Abstract
It has been hypothesized that the development of sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) occurs through intestinal metaplasia (IM) of the respiratory and/or glandular epithelium. The aim of this study was to characterize the histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of sinonasal IM. Histologic slides from 29 consecutive surgical specimens of ITAC were retrieved. Sections were stained for CDX2, cytokeratin 20 (CK20), MUC2, and p53. The status of TP53 gene exons 4-9 was assessed separately in areas of IM and in ITAC. Foci of IM were detected in eight cases (27.5%). They were all positive for CK20 and CDX2, while MUC2 was detected in six cases (75%). In six cases (75%), the metaplastic foci showed signs of dysplasia, including nuclear enlargement with increased nucleus to cytoplasm ratio, nuclear hyperchromasia, loss of nuclear polarity, and presence of prominent nucleoli. P53 nuclear immunoreactivity was observed in four cases. TP53 gene sequencing was successfully performed in six cases and revealed the same mutation in both IM and ITAC in two cases (c.832C > T and c.215G > C), while another ITAC showed a mutation that was not present in the adjacent IM (c.536A > G). In conclusion, our study suggests a possible clonal relationship between areas of sinonasal IM and ITAC, indicating that IM may represent a precursor lesion of ITAC. Improving the knowledge on the morphological and molecular features of IM is a key step to identify reliable biomarkers to determine the risk of sinonasal ITAC development.

Abstract
The sinonasal cavities represent an anatomical region affected by a variety of tumours with clinical, aetiological, pathological, and genetic features distinct from tumours at the main head and neck cancer localizations. Together, squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma account for 80% of all sinonasal tumours, and are aetiologically associated with professional exposure to wood and leather dust particles and other industrial compounds, and therefore, are officially recognized as an occupational disease. Owing to their distinctive characteristics, sinonasal tumours should be considered as separate entities, not to be included in the miscellany of head and neck cancers. Sinonasal tumours are rare, with an annual incidence of approximately 1 case per 100,000 inhabitants worldwide, a fact that has hampered molecular-genetic studies of the tumorigenic pathways and the testing of alternative treatment strategies. Nevertheless, the clinical management of sinonasal cancer has improved owing to advances in imaging techniques, endoscopic surgical approaches, and radiotherapy. Genetic profiling and the development of in vitro cell lines and animal models currently form the basis for future targeted anticancer therapies. We review these advances in our understanding and treatment of sinonasal tumours.

Abstract
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are rare tumors, etiologically related to occupational exposure to wood and leather dust. In spite of surgical and radiotherapeutic advances, the 5 year survival is still 30–50%. Therefore, alternative treatment options are needed. We report the establishment and characterization of six unique human sinonasal SCC cell lines, named SCCNC1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. In vitro growth and invasion characteristics were evaluated and genetic profiles were compared to those of the original primary tumors. The population doubling times ranged from 21 to 34 hours. Cell lines SCCNC2 and 7 were highly invasive in matrigel. Five cell lines carried a high number of copy number alterations, including amplifications and homozygous deletions, while one showed only three abnormalities. Sequence analysis revealed three cell lines with TP53 mutation and none with KRAS or BRAF. Overexpression of p53 was observed in five, and of EGFR in four cell lines. None of the cell lines showed strong immunopositivity of p16 or presence of human papilloma virus. In conclusion, we have created six new cell lines that are clinically and genetically representative of sinonasal SCC and that will be a useful tool for the preclinical testing of new therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Sinonasal cancers are rare and are often associated with occupational exposure that should be researched. Their diagnosis is often delayed. Carcinomas are the most common histological variety. The aim of the present report is to review the main scientific literature about sinonasal cancer to identify their clinicopathological features, and their main causes and treatment modalities. The treatment of these tumors is surgical, usually followed by radiotherapy.

Abstract
Background Maxillary sinus carcinoma (MSC) is a rare cancer of the head and neck region. Patients are treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy and the treatment regimen is based on patient’s age, general health condition, disease stage, and its extent of spread. There is very little information available on the genetics of this disease. DNA content based flow sorting of tumor cells followed by array comparative genomic hybridization allows for high definition global assessment of distinct clonal changes within tumor populations. Methods We applied this technique to primary and metastatic samples collected from a patient with radio- and chemotherapy refractory maxillary sinus carcinoma to gauge the progression of this disease. Results A clonal KIT amplicon was present in aneuploid populations sorted from the primary tumor and in divergent subclones arising in metastatic foci found in the brain, lung, and jejunum. The evolution of these subclones was associated with distinct genetic aberrations and DNA ploidies. Conclusion The information presented here paves the path to understanding the development and progression of this disease.

Abstract
Sinonasal carcinomas are rare tumours with an unfavourable prognosis whose management is difficult and complex, leading to high morbidity and mortality despite improvements in the field of surgery and radiotherapy. An elevated number of these tumours can be attributed to occupational exposure. In comparison with other head and neck malignancies, studies of molecular changes in these tumours are infrequent. This review was focused on findings about the epidemiology and molecular and phenotypic characterisation of sinonasal carcinomas, which can potentially be useful for diagnosis and treatment. The increasing knowledge about the molecular biology that underlies their carcinogenesis may help to identify precursor lesions, prognostic markers and markers that predict chemoradiotherapy response and, finally, to identify potential molecular targets that will expand treatment options.

BMC Public Health 2011; 11:928. [PMID: 22171573 PMCID: PMC3274482 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2458-11-928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2011] [Accepted: 12/14/2011] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Occupational causes of respiratory cancers need to be further investigated: the role of occupational exposures in the aetiology of head and neck cancers remains largely unknown, and there are still substantial uncertainties for a number of suspected lung carcinogens. The main objective of the study is to examine occupational risk factors for lung and head and neck cancers. METHODS/DESIGN ICARE is a multi-center, population-based case-control study, which included a group of 2926 lung cancer cases, a group of 2415 head and neck cancer cases, and a common control group of 3555 subjects. Incident cases were identified in collaboration with cancer registries, in 10 geographical areas. The control group was a random sample of the population of these areas, with a distribution by sex and age comparable to that of the cases, and a distribution by socioeconomic status comparable to that of the population. Subjects were interviewed face to face, using a standardized questionnaire collecting particularly information on tobacco and alcohol consumption, residential history and a detailed description of occupational history. Biological samples were also collected from study subjects. The main occupational exposures of interest are asbestos, man-made mineral fibers, formaldehyde, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chromium and nickel compounds, arsenic, wood dust, textile dust, solvents, strong acids, cutting fluids, silica, diesel fumes, welding fumes. The complete list of exposures of interest includes more than 60 substances. Occupational exposure assessment will use several complementary methods: case-by-case evaluation of exposure by experts; development and use of algorithms to assess exposure from the questionnaires; application of job-exposure matrices. DISCUSSION The large number of subjects should allow to uncover exposures associated with moderate increase in risks, and to evaluate risks associated with infrequent or widely dispersed exposures. It will be possible to study joint effects of exposure to different occupational risk factors, to examine the interactions between occupational exposures, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, and genetic risk factors, and to estimate the proportion of respiratory cancers attributable to occupational exposures in France. In addition, information on many non-occupational risk factors is available, and the study will provide an excellent framework for numerous studies in various fields.

Abstract
AIMS Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is an uncommon neoplasm morphologically similar to colorectal adenocarcinoma, with a well-recognized association with occupational exposure to wood or leather dusts. Here, we analyse several gene products with pivotal roles in tumorigenesis, including p53, p16, deleted in colon cancer (DCC), retinoblastoma, adenomatous polyposis coli, β-catenin, E-cadherin and CD10, and discuss their relation to clinical behaviour and to similar pathways in colorectal adenocarcinomas. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunohistochemical analysis of 62 ITACs was conducted on a tissue microarray. Aberrant expression of p53 and p16 were the most commonly observed alterations (61.3% and 64.5% of cases, respectively). Analysis according to the histological subtype showed that p53 overexpression was less frequent in mucinous ITACs (35.3% versus 71.1%, P = 0.018), while loss of DCC and E-cadherin were observed more frequently in this subtype (76.5% versus 31.1%, P=0.002 and 82.4% versus 31.1%, P<0.001, respectively). No correlation was found between the aberrant expression of these and clinical behaviour while mucinous adenocarcinomas had a significantly worse prognosis, with shorter disease-free interval and overall survival (P=0.005 and P<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Mucinous ITACs appear to follow a distinct molecular pathway(s) from the non-mucinous variants, and pursue an aggressive clinical behaviour.

Abstract
Sinonasal cancer is still a somewhat controversial entity because most series are single-center studies. The aim of this study was to give more accurate and generalisable information about treatment of the neck and prognosis of sinonasal cancer. Retrospective, population-based, multicentre study. Altogether 244 patients diagnosed in 1990-2004 were evaluated. The 3- and 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rates after treatment with curative intent were 68 and 57%, respectively. Regional status at the time of the diagnosis (P < 0.001, log rank) and local recurrence (P = 0.02, log rank) during the follow-up had a statistically significant effect on DSS. Initially 13% of the patients were diagnosed with neck metastasis. The proportion of regional recurrences during the follow-up was 9%, but it did not have a statistically significant impact on DSS (P = 0.68, log rank). Histopathology had no statistically significant impact on survival in this material of 244 patients. In conclusion, routine elective neck treatment of all sinonasal cancer patients is not recommended, but the importance of the treatment of the primary location is emphasised.

Abstract
Occupational exposure to wood dust is a strong risk factor for the development of intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC); however, knowledge on possible precursor lesions or biomarkers is limited. Fifty-one samples of tumor-adjacent mucosa and 19 control samples of mucosa from the unaffected fossa of ITAC patients were evaluated for histological changes and p53 protein expression. Mild dysplasia was observed in 14%, cuboidal metaplasia in 57%, intestinal metaplasia in 8%, squamous metaplasia in 24%, and cylindrocellular hyperplasia in 53% of cases. P53 immunopositivity was generally weak occurring most frequently in squamous metaplasia. Wood dust etiology did not appear of influence on the histological changes, but p53 showed a tendency for higher positivity. Dysplasia adjacent to tumor was indicative of subsequent development of recurrence. In conclusion, precursor lesions do occur in mucosa adjacent to ITAC. This is clinically important, because it may justify the screening of high-risk individuals such as woodworkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare tumor etiologically related to professional exposure to wood dust. The overall prognosis is poor, mainly due to the difficulty to resect the tumor completely in this anatomically complex region. Therefore, there is great need for alternative treatments. However, the lack of a good tumor model system for ITAC has hampered the development and testing of new therapeutic agents. Here, we report the establishment and characterization of the first human ITAC cell line named ITAC-3. METHODS The cell line was initiated from small explants of a T4bN0M0 colonic type ITAC from the ethmoid sinus. Growth and invasion parameters as well as genetic characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS The population doubling time was 18 h and the cell line was capable of invasion in matrigel. Chromosomal analysis showed a tetraploid karyotype with both numerical and structural aberrations. High resolution microarray CGH analysis identified many copy number alterations, including homozygous deletions. TP53 carried a mutation c.818G>T in exon eight concurring with a strong nuclear protein overexpression. Immunohistochemical analysis showed protein overexpression of EGFR and normal expression of β-catenin and p16. CONCLUSION This is the first report of the establishment of a cell line derived from a primary ITAC. The genomic profile of the cell line was the same as the primary tumor from which it was derived. This new cell line will be a useful tool for the development and testing of new therapeutic agents for this tumor type.
