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.

Combined Photon and Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Sinonasal Malignancies: Results of the HIT-SNT Prospective Phase 2 Trial. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024; 118:1563-1574. [PMID: 37866761 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.09.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation treatment of sinonasal malignancies is a challenging task due to proximity to critical structures of the head and neck and skull base. Local tumor control is highly dose-dependent, but dose application is limited due to accompanying toxicity and dose constraints. To evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of combined radiation treatment with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and carbon ion boost, we conducted a prospective phase 2 IMRT-Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Sinonasal Tumors (HIT-SNT) trial. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 2011 and 2019, we treated 35 patients with histologically proven, incompletely resected or inoperable adeno- (51%) or squamous cell carcinoma (49%) of the paranasal sinuses with combined IMRT (50 Gy) and carbon ion boost (24 Gy relative biologic effectiveness) to a total dose of 74 Gy. RESULTS Acute mucositis Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 occurred in 12% of patients (n = 4) and was accompanied by odynophagia CTCAE grade 3. Except for 1 case of grade 3 weight loss, no other acute high-grade toxicity (grade 3-4) was observed. In a small patient cohort of 15 patients eligible for long-term follow-up we have seen no high-grade (grade ≥3) long-term side effects 2 years after radiation therapy. None of these patients suffered from therapy-associated vision or hearing loss. Secondary endpoints were 2-year overall survival, 2-year local progression-free survival, 2-year progression-free survival, and 2-year metastases-free survival with 79.4%, 61.8%, 61.8%, and 64.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first prospective data on toxicity and outcome of bimodal radiation therapy for the rare entity of sinonasal malignancies. Our study shows a low rate of CTCAE-reported acute toxicity with reasonable tumor control and survival rates after bimodal radiation therapy, which therefore remains a therapy approach to be further evaluated.

Abstract
In this article, we propose a consensus delineation of postoperative clinical target volumes for the primary tumour in maxillary sinus and nasal cavity cancers. These guidelines are developed based on radioanatomy and the natural history of those cancers. They require the fusion of the planning CT with preoperative imaging for accurate positioning of the initial GTV and the combined use of the geometric and anatomical concepts for the delineation of clinical target volume for the primary tumour. This article does not discuss the indications of external radiotherapy (nor concurrent systemic treatment) but focuses on target volumes when there is an indication for radiotherapy.

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
AIM In this study, efficacy of collapsed cone algorithm-generated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) were evaluated for treatment of thoracic esophageal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten previously treated patients with VMAT were considered for evaluation. The planning parameters were evaluated in terms of max dose, mean dose, Homogeneity Index, Conformity Index for planning target volume, and organ at risk doses. Total monitor unit, treatment time, and gamma passing index were also reported. RESULTS The target dose coverage of the VMAT and IMRT plans achieved the clinical dosimetric criteria for all ten patients in the evaluation. Under the condition of equivalent target dose distribution, the VMAT plan's Conformity Index, monitor unit, treatment time, and gamma passing index rate were superior than in the IMRT plan, and the result was statistically significant. CONCLUSION Collapsed cone algorithm-based VMAT can have a more effective and better approach for esophageal cancer than IMRT.

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.

Oncol Lett 2023; 25:132. [PMID: 36844617 PMCID: PMC9950340 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2023.13718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Non-intestinal adenocarcinoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (n-ITAC) is a heterogeneous tumor, which has rarely been reported in previous studies. Most high-grade n-ITAC has poor prognosis and there is a lack of classic therapeutic strategy. The present study examined using the PACS system of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University between January 2000 and June 2020. It searched the keyword 'n-ITAC' and selected pathology. A total of 15 consecutive patients were searched. Finally, the present study analyzed a total of 12 n-ITAC patients. The follow-up time was 47 months on average. For low-grade (G1) tumors, 1 and 3-year overall survival (OS) rate were 100 and 85.7% respectively, while for high-grade (G3) tumors, 1 and 3-year OS rates were 80.0 and 20.0% respectively. Pathological grade may be an adverse prognostic factor (P=0.077). The OS of the surgery group was significantly superior to that of the non-surgery group (3-year OS was 63.6 vs. 0%, P=0.0009). Surgery is an indispensable means of treatment. The OS of patients with positive incisal margin was lower compared with that of patients with negative margin (P=0.186), suggesting that complete resection may be one of the prognostic factors. Patients with high risk factors received radiotherapy. The radiation dose was 66-70 Gy/33F for patients with positive margin or non-operation and was 60 Gy/28F for those with negative margin. Most of the patients received prophylactic irradiation of cervical area. Therefore, the prognosis of pathological high-grade n-ITAC is poor. Surgery is the most effective and an indispensable treatment for n-ITAC. For patients with high risk factors, surgery combined with radiotherapy may be a reasonable treatment. With regard to the cover range of radiotherapy, the primary tumor combined with lymph node drainage area is often used in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the total dose of radiotherapy can be reduced if the surgical margin is negative.

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
BACKGROUND This study analyzed the respective advantages and disadvantages by comparing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on the dose distribution and position verification distribution characteristics in esophageal cancer radiotherapy, in order to provide the reference for the clinical radiotherapy technology optimization of esophageal cancer. METHODS A total of 56 cases of patients with esophageal cancer were selected and applied to the Pinnacle three-dimensional radiation treatment planning system (TPS), in order to design a VMAT plan and IMRT plan under the guidance of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). The dosimetry and position verification difference were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Revealed that the target dose distribution of the VMAT plan and IMRT plan meets the requirements in clinical dosimetry for all 56 patients in this study. Under the premise of similar target coverage, the conformal index (CI) of the VMAT plan, homogeneity index (HI), target volume, BODY-PTV radiated volume and spinal cord Dmax, bilateral lung V5, V20 and mean lung dose (MLD), monitor unit (MU) and treatment time (TT), as well as position verification and others, were obviously superior to those in the IMRT plan; and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION CBCT guided VMAT is a potential effective treatment for esophageal cancer and may be more effective and safer than IMRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas are rare and aggressive tumors. Curative therapy includes surgery and radiotherapy, with high risk for local morbidity and impaired quality of life. The objective of this study was to analyze a large cohort of patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma on treatment morbidity and oncological outcome. METHODS Patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (n = 75) treated at a tertiary referral center between 2008 and 2019 were identified. In patients with curative treatment intent (n = 70), a chart review and analysis on patient and tumor characteristics, morbidity, and oncological outcome was performed. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 59 months. Primary curative therapy was surgery alone (n = 18), surgery with radiation (n = 25), and primary (chemo)radiation (n = 27). Forty-two (60%) patients suffered from treatment-related morbidity; most frequent symptoms were dry nasal mucosa (20%), nasal obstruction (14.3%), and vision impairment or loss (11.5%). Patients with early disease had less morbidity (51.4 vs 71.1%; P = 0.09), a lower recurrence rate (27% vs. 48.5%; P = 0.08), and better overall survival (92.5% vs. 71.1%; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION Treatment-related morbidity is common after curative treatment of sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas. Early disease is beneficial in terms of occurrence and severity as multimodal treatment and recurrence can more likely be avoided.

Abstract
Head and neck cancers are the third most common cancers treated with radiation in Ethiopia. There is, however, a lack of published data on clinical and pathological characteristics and treatment patterns of head and neck cancers in the country. The objective of the study was to assess clinical and pathological characteristics and treatment patterns of head and neck cancers at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, which housed the only radiotherapy facility in Ethiopia during the study period. Curative radiation dosing for #headandneck #cancer in #Ethiopia is challenged by the limitations of 2D radiation and long wait times. @JCOGO_ASCO

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is limited information regarding the recurrence patterns and efficacy of surveillance modalities in patients with sinonasal malignancies. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted between the years 2001-2018 at a tertiary care center. Included were all patients with sinonasal malignancies treated in our institution. Data regarding recurrence and survival were analyzed. RESULTS Eighty-one patients were included. Multimodal treatment was administered to the majority of patients. 24 (35.3%) patients recurred with a median time of 17 months (range, 4-180). Although the majority of recurrences occurred within the first 5 years (83.3%), 4 (16.6%) recurred later on (5-15 years). Recurrences were local in 83.3%, regional in 20.8% and distant in 16.6%. All local recurrences occurred within the radiation treatment field and all patients with distant failure had mucosal melanoma. The majority of recurrences (70.6%) were diagnosed clinically or endoscopically, mainly in patients with SCC during the first 2 years of follow up. MRI or PET-CT were crucial in detecting extra-sinus and distant failures. Salvage surgery was feasible in the majority of patients (58.3%). Overall, 5 years survival (OS) rate was 60.9%. CONCLUSIONS Frequent clinic visits with nasal endoscopy combined with frequent imaging studies should be routinely practiced as part of a long-term surveillance plan. Longer follow up duration should be considered in these patients.

Proteomic Profiling of Saliva and Tears in Radiated Head and Neck Cancer Patients as Compared to Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073714. [PMID: 35409074 PMCID: PMC8998953 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) and patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) may exhibit similar symptoms of dry mouth and dry eyes, as a result of radiotherapy (RT) or a consequence of disease progression. To identify the proteins that may serve as promising disease biomarkers, we analysed saliva and tears from 29 radiated HNC patients and 21 healthy controls, and saliva from 14 pSS patients by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The study revealed several upregulated, and in some instances overlapping, proteins in the two patient groups. Histone H1.4 and neutrophil collagenase were upregulated in whole saliva of both patient groups, while caspase-14, histone H4, and protein S100-A9 were upregulated in HNC saliva only. In HCN tear fluid, the most highly upregulated protein was mucin-like protein 1. These overexpressed proteins in saliva and tears play central roles in inflammation, host cell injury, activation of reactive oxygen species, and tissue repair. In conclusion, the similarities and differences in overexpressed proteins detected in saliva from HNC and pSS patients may contribute to the overall understanding of the different pathophysiological mechanisms inducing dry mouth. Thus, the recurring proteins identified could possibly serve as future promising biomarkers.

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
INTRODUCTION Sinonasal malignancy is a rare and heterogenous disease, with limited evidence to guide management. This report summarises the findings of a UK survey and expert workshop discussion which took place to inform design of a proposed UK trial to assess proton beam therapy versus intensity-modulated radiation therapy. METHOD A multidisciplinary working group constructed an online survey to assess current approaches within the UK to surgical and non-surgical practice. Head and neck clinical oncologists, ear nose and throat (ENT) and oral-maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons were invited to participate in the 42-question survey in September 2020. The Royal College of Radiologists Consensus model was adopted in establishing categories to indicate strength of response. An expert panel conducted a virtual workshop in November 2020 to discuss areas of disagreement. RESULTS A survey was sent to 140 UK-based clinicians with 63 responses (45% response rate) from 30 centres, representing a broad geographical spread. Participants comprised 35 clinical oncologists (56%) and 29 surgeons (44%; 20 ENT and 9 OMF surgeons). There were variations in preferred sequence and combination of treatment modalities for locally advanced maxillary squamous cell carcinoma and sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma. There was discordant surgical management of the orbit, dura, and neck. There was lack of consensus for radiotherapy in post-operative dose fractionation, target volume delineation, use of multiple dose levels and treatment planning approach to organs-at-risk. CONCLUSION There was wide variation across UK centres in the management of sinonasal carcinomas. There is need to standardise UK practice and develop an evidence base for treatment.

Abstract
Patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer may have increased incidence of dry eye disease and the exact mechanism is unclear. The present study aims to assess tear film and meibomian gland (MG) features in patients who received IMRT for head and neck cancer not involving the orbital area. Twenty-seven patients (64.7 ± 9.8 years) and 30 age-matched controls (61.4 ± 11.0 years) underwent a comprehensive dry eye work-up. Compared to the control group, the patients had more lid margin abnormalities, and worse meibum quality. The MG loss, calculated as (tarsal area-MG area)/tarsal area, was higher in the patient group in both the upper (53.0 ± 12.0% vs. 35.1 ± 10.3%, p < 0.001) and lower lids (69.5 ± 12.6% vs. 48.5 ± 12.5%, p < 0.001). In the patient group, more MG loss in the lower lids correlated with worse meibum quality (r = 0.445, p = 0.029). In contrast, there was no significant difference in aqueous tear production level, measured with Schirmer test. Patients treated with IMRT for head and neck cancer seemed to have comparable lacrimal gland function to the controls despite more dry eye symptoms. However, the patients had MG functional and morphological changes, which may present a higher risk for developing dry eye disease.

Abstract
Simple Summary Sinonasal cancers are rare and heterogeneous tumors, mainly carcinomas, with essentially local evolution and a severe vital and functional prognosis. These tumors are more and more being treated in first intent by a mini-morbid endoscopic approach rather than open surgery as the cornerstone of curative treatment. Adjuvant radiotherapy remains necessary owing to non-optimal local control. This article describes the requirements of radiotherapy to ensure adequate delays, the potential of postoperative radiotherapy to increase local and distant disease control and to decrease morbidity further after mini morbid surgery and dose painting techniques, and reviews the criteria that lead to the choice of one technique over another. Abstract Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of sinonasal cancer, mainly in the adjuvant setting after surgical resection. Many technological approaches have been described, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy, concomitant chemoradiotherapy, charged particle therapy or combined approaches. The choice is based on general criteria related to the oncological results and morbidity of each technique and their availability, as well as specific criteria related to the tumor (tumor extensions, pathology and quality of margins). The aims of this review are: (i) to provide an overview of the radiotherapy techniques available for the management of sinonasal malignant tumors and (ii) to describe the constraints and opportunities of radiotherapy owing to the recent developments of endonasal endoscopic surgery. The indication and morbidity of the different techniques will be discussed based on a critical literature review.

Abstract
Simple Summary Sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas are a group of diverse tumors affecting the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. As a direct consequence of their rarity and heterogeneity, diagnosis is challenging, and treatment does not follow universally accepted protocols. Though surgery represents the mainstay of treatment, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have pivotal roles in improving outcomes of patients treated with curative intent. Indications to endoscopic surgery have been expanding over the last three decades, but a considerable number of patients affected by sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma still need open surgical procedures. Management of the neck in patients affected by sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is controversial. Curative-intended treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic tumors, alongside palliation of uncurable cases, represent poorly explored aspects of this disease. Abstract Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is a rare tumor affecting the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Several aspects of this disease, ranging from epidemiology to biology, pathology, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and post-treatment surveillance are controversial, and consensus on how to manage this sinonasal cancer is lacking. A narrative literature review was performed to summarize the current evidence and provide the reader with available data supporting the decision-making process in patients affected by sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma, alongside the authors’ personal opinion on the unsolved issues of this tumor. The review has highlighted several advances in molecular definition of epithelial cancers of the sinonasal tract. Surgery represents the pivot of treatment and is performed through an endoscopic transnasal approach whenever feasible. Open surgery is required for a large proportion of cases. Reconstruction of the defect follows principles of skull base and cranio-maxillo-facial reconstruction. Chemotherapy is given as neoadjuvant treatment or concomitantly to radiotherapy. Photon-based radiation therapy has a crucial role in the adjuvant setting. Particle therapy is providing promising results. Management of the neck should be planned based on the presence of clinically appreciable metastases, primary tumor extension, and need for recipient vessels. Biotherapy and immunotherapy are still underexplored therapeutical modalities.

Abstract
Cancer patients undergoing therapeutic radiation routinely develop injury of the adjacent gastrointestinal (GI) tract mucosa due to treatment. To reduce radiation dose to critical GI structures including the rectum and oral mucosa, 3D-printed GI radioprotective devices composed of high-Z materials are generated from patient CT scans. In a radiation proctitis rat model, a significant reduction in crypt injury is demonstrated with the device compared to without (p < 0.0087). Optimal device placement for radiation attenuation is further confirmed in a swine model. Dosimetric modeling in oral cavity cancer patients demonstrates a 30% radiation dose reduction to the normal buccal mucosa and a 15.2% dose reduction in the rectum for prostate cancer patients with the radioprotectant material in place compared to without. Finally, it is found that the rectal radioprotectant device is more cost-effective compared to a hydrogel rectal spacer. Taken together, these data suggest that personalized radioprotectant devices may be used to reduce GI tissue injury in cancer patients undergoing therapeutic radiation.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13102364. [PMID: 34068905 PMCID: PMC8157068 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13102364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are rare. Most are discovered at a locally advanced stage and require multimodal treatment consisting of surgery and radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy. Tumor localization between the eyes and near the brain makes treatment planning difficult due to the necessary consideration of both critical normal tissue with high protection priority and the curative aim of the best radiotherapy dose deposit. Thus, it is noteworthy how tumor volumes impact the five-year survival outcome. Therefore, we investigated initial tumor volumes before any therapy. Patients with larger mean initial tumor volumes of more than 75 cm3 had worse outcomes. There was no additional benefit of upfront surgery. Especially for patients with large tumor burdens of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus, an interdisciplinary case discussion with the patient is essential in the process of shared decision-making. Abstract Purpose: We report the outcome of a mono-institutional retrospective study of sinonasal carcinoma with the primary focus on GTV (gross tumor volume) and the effect of radiotherapy. Methods: 53 patients with sinonasal carcinoma and that of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinus or both except lymphoma were included. All patients were treated between 1999 and 2017. For tumor volume delineation, all pre-therapeutic images were fused to the planning CT (computed tomography). Results: The median follow-up was 17 months [0.3–60], the median age 60 years, 35 males and 18 females were included. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (60.4%) was the predominant histology, followed by adenocarcinoma (15.1%). The mean composite OS (overall survival) time was 33.3 ± 3.5 months. There was no significant difference in the 5 y composite OS between tumor localization or radiotherapy setting. The simultaneous integrated boost concept showed a trend towards improving five-year composite OS compared to the sequential boost concept. The only factor with a significant impact on the 5 y composite OS rate was the pre-therapeutic GTV (cutoff 75 cm3; p = 0.033). The GTV ≥ 100 cm3 has no effect on the 5 y composite OS rate for SCC. Conclusions: The pre-therapeutic GTV is a prognostic factor for five-year composite OS for the entire group of patients with sinonasal tumors, influencing the outcome after completion of all treatment strategies. The GTV seems to not influence five-year composite OS in SCC. For this rare tumor entity, an intensive, multidisciplinary discussion is essential to finding the best treatment option for the patient.

Comparison of a Hybrid IMRT/VMAT technique with non-coplanar VMAT and non-coplanar IMRT for unresectable olfactory neuroblastoma using the RayStation treatment planning system-EUD, NTCP and planning study. JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2021; 62:540-548. [PMID: 33839761 PMCID: PMC8127663 DOI: 10.1093/jrr/rrab010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare hybrid intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (Hybrid IMRT/VMAT), with non-coplanar (nc) IMRT and nc-VMAT treatment plans for unresectable olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB). Hybrid IMRT/VMAT, nc-IMRT and nc-VMAT plans were optimized for 12 patients with modified Kadish C stage ONB. Dose prescription was 65 Gy in 26 fractions. Dose-volume histogram parameters, conformation number (CN), homogeneity index (HI), integral dose and monitor units (MUs) delivered per fraction were assessed. Equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) based on the EUD model (NTCPLogit) and the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman model (NTCPLKB) were also evaluated. We found that the Hybrid IMRT/VMAT plan significantly improved the CN for clinical target volume (CTV) and planning treatment volume (PTV) compared with the nc-VMAT plan. In general, sparing of organs at risk (OARs) is similar with the three techniques, although the Hybrid IMRT/VMAT plan resulted in a significantly reduced Dmax to contralateral (C/L) optic nerve compared with the nc-IMRT plan. The Hybrid IMRT/VMAT plan significantly reduce EUD to the ipsilateral (I/L) and C/L optic nerve in comparison with the nc-IMRT plan and nc-VMAT plan, but the difference in NTCP between the three technique was <1%. We concluded that the Hybrid IMRT/VMAT technique can offer improvement in terms of target conformity and EUD for optic nerves, while achieving equal or better OAR sparing compared with nc-IMRT and nc-VMAT, and can be a viable radiation technique for treating unresectable ONB. However, the clinical benefit of these small differences in dosimetric data, EUD and NTCP of optic nerves may be minimal.

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.

Loosening Neuro-Optic Structures Dosimetric Constraints Provides High 5-Year Local Recurrence-Free Survival With Acceptable Toxicity in T4 Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients Treated With Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy. Front Oncol 2021; 11:598320. [PMID: 33692949 PMCID: PMC7937960 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.598320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Whether the original dosimetric constraints of neuro-optic structures (NOS) are appropriate for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) remains controversial. The present study compared the survival rates and radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) occurrence between T4 NPC patients whose NOS were irradiated with a near maximum dose received by 2% of the volume (D2%) >55 Gy and ≤55 Gy. Moreover, the NOS dosimetric parameters and their correlation with RION occurrence were also evaluated. Methods In this retrospective study, 256 T4 NPC patients treated with IMRT between May 2009 and December 2013 were included. Patient characteristics, survival rates, dosimetric parameters, and RION incidence were compared between the D2% ≤55 Gy and D2% >55 Gy groups. Results The median follow-up durations were 87 and 83 months for patients in the D2% >55 Gy and D2% ≤55 Gy groups, respectively. The 5-year local recurrence-free survival rates were 92.0 and 84.0% in the D2% >55 Gy and D2% ≤55 Gy groups (P = 0.043), respectively. There was no significant difference in the 5-year overall survival (OS) between both groups (D2% >55 Gy, 81.6%; D2% ≤55 Gy, 79.4%; P = 0.586). No patients developed severe RION (Grades 3–5), and there was no significant difference (P = 0.958) in the incidence of RION between the two groups. The maximum dose of NOS significantly affected the RION incidence, with a cutoff point of 70.77 Gy. Conclusion Appropriately loosening NOS dosimetric constraints in order to ensure a more sufficient dose to the target volume can provide a better 5-year local recurrence-free survival and acceptable neuro-optic toxicity in T4 NPC patients undergoing IMRT.

Oral and ocular late effects in head and neck cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Sci Rep 2021; 11:4026. [PMID: 33597629 PMCID: PMC7889862 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83635-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
A broader understanding of oral and ocular late effects in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may provide valuable information in follow-up and improve quality of life. Twenty-nine HNC patients treated at least 6 months earlier and 30 age-matched controls were recruited. After completing several questionnaires: Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), Shortened Xerostomia Inventory (SXI), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and McMonnies Dry Eye questionnaire (MDEQ), participants underwent oral and ocular examinations. Oral examination included clinical oral dryness score (CODS) and secretion rates of unstimulated and stimulated saliva (UWS, SWS). Ocular examination included tear film break-up time, Schirmer test and ocular surface staining. The patients had more problems related to dry mouth than controls based on CODS and SXI, and more complaints of dry eye disease based on OSDI and MDEQ. UWS and SWS rates and oral health related quality of life were significantly lower in the patient group. Subjective oral dryness (SXI) correlated significantly with subjective ocular dryness (OSDI and MDEQ). Our study demonstrates that HNC patients treated with IMRT experience late effects in terms of xerostomia and ocular dryness underlining the importance of interdisciplinary approach in the evaluation and follow-up of HNC patients.

Abstract
It is proposed to delineate the anatomo-clinical target volumes of primary tumor (CTV-P) in ethmoid cancers treated with post-operative radiotherapy. This concept is based on the use of radioanatomy and the natural history of cancer. It is supported by the repositioning of the planning scanner with preoperative imaging for the replacement of the initial GTV and the creation of margins around it extended to the microscopic risk zones according to the anatomical concept. This article does not discuss the indications of external radiotherapy but specifies the volumes to be delineated if radiotherapy is considered.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the results of definitive radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy for maxillary sinus carcinomas (MSCs) with neck lymph node metastasis to clarify its limitation. Local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared between subgroups using the log rank test. Toxicity was classified using common terminology criteria of adverse events version 5.0. Eighteen patients with inoperable MSC with neck lymph node metastasis including 12 men and 6 women with a median age of 67 years were analyzed. The histologic diagnoses were as follows: 16 patients had squamous cell carcinomas and 2 had other histology. Four patients had stage T3 MSC, 6 had T4a and 8 had T4b. Among 18 patients, 7 received concurrent systemic chemotherapy and 11 received selective arterial chemo-infusion. The median follow-up period was 17 months. The 2-year LC, PFS and OS rates for the entire cohort were 34, 31 and 46%, respectively. No significant differences were observed for LC, PFS and OS rates between systemic chemotherapy and selective arterial chemo-infusion cohorts. Grade 3 or higher acute toxicity, including both non-hematological and hematological, was observed in nine patients (50%), while no grade 3 or higher late toxicity was observed. In conclusion, we described the results of definitive RT for MSCs with neck lymph node metastasis. Local recurrence of primary tumor was a frequent pattern of failure and it should be addressed in future study.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT), proton radiation therapy (PRT), and photon‐based intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the treatment of sinonasal malignancies. We identified studies through systematic review and divided them into three cohorts (CIRT group/PRT group/IMRT group). Primary outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and local control (LC). We pooled the outcomes with meta‐analysis and compared the survival difference among groups using Chi2 (χ2) test. A representative sample of 2282 patients with sinonasal malignancies (911 in the CIRT group, 599 in the PRT group, and 772 in the IMRT group) from 44 observation studies (7 CIRT, 16 PRT, and 21 IMRT) was included. The pooled 3‐year OS, LC, distant metastasis–free survival, and progression‐free survival rates were 67.0%, 72.8%, 69.4%, and 52.8%, respectively. Through cross‐group analysis, the OS was significantly higher after CIRT (75.1%, 95% CI: 67.1%‐83.2%) than PRT (66.2%, 95% CI: 57.7%‐74.6%; χ2 = 13.374, P < .0001) or IMRT (63.8%, 95% CI: 55.3%‐72.3%; χ2 = 23.814, P < .0001). LC was significantly higher after CIRT (80.2%, 95% CI: 73.9%‐86.5%) than PRT (72.9%, 95% CI: 63.7%‐82.0%; χ2 = 8.955, P = .003) or IMRT (67.8%, 95% CI: 59.4%‐76.2%; χ2 = 30.955, P < .0001). However, no significant difference between PRT and IMRT for OS and LC was observed. CIRT appeared to provide better OS and LC for patients with malignancies of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. A prospective randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm the superiority of CIRT in the treatment of sinonasal tumors.

[PMID: 32977357 PMCID: PMC7643686 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sinonasal malignancies (SNM) include malignant neoplasms of various histologies that originate from the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity. This study reported the safety and efficacy of particle‐beam radiation therapy (PBRT) for the treatment of sinonasal malignancies. Methods and materials One‐hundred‐and‐eleven patients with nonmetastatic sinonasal malignancies received definitive (82.9%) or salvage (31.5%) PBRT. The majority (85.6%) of patients presented with T3/4 disease, and only 19 (17.1%) had R0 or R1 resection. Seventy (63.1%) patients received carbon‐ion radiotherapy (CIRT), 37 received proton radiotherapy (PRT) followed by CIRT boost, and 4 received PRT alone. Prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox regression for univariate and multiple regression. Toxicities were reported using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.03). Results The median follow‐up was 20.2 months for the entire cohort. The 2‐year local progression‐free survival (LPFS), regional progression‐free survival (RPFS), distant metastasis‐free survival (DMFS), progression‐free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were 83%, 97.2%, 85.9%, 66%, and 82%, respectively. Re‐irradiation and large GTV were the significant factors for OS. Melanoma and sarcoma patients had significantly higher distant metastatic rate, and poorer OS and PFS. Late toxicity occurred in 22 (19.8%) patients, but only 4 (3.6%) patients experienced grades 3‐4 late toxicity. Conclusions Particle‐beam radiation therapy results in excellent local‐regional control with extremely low serve toxicities for patients with SNM. Sarcoma and melanoma were featured with a greater risk of death from distant dissemination. Patients who underwent re‐irradiation had significantly worse OS. PBRT is feasible and safe in the management of SNM.

Cytokines Explored in Saliva and Tears from Radiated Cancer Patients Correlate with Clinical Manifestations, Influencing Important Immunoregulatory Cellular Pathways. Cells 2020; 9:cells9092050. [PMID: 32911805 PMCID: PMC7565699 DOI: 10.3390/cells9092050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Although radiotherapy is a common form of treatment for head and neck cancer, it may lead to tissue damage in the salivary and lacrimal glands, possibly affecting cytokine expression in the gland fluid of treated individuals. Cytokine profiles in saliva and tear fluid of 29 radiated head and neck cancer patients and 20 controls were screened using a multiplex assay. Correlations between cytokine expression and clinical oral and ocular manifestations were examined, and cellular pathways influenced by these cytokines were assessed using the Functional Enrichment Analysis Tool. Significantly elevated cytokines identified in patient saliva were CCL21, IL-4, CX3CL1, CCL2, CXCL1 and CCL15. Many of these cytokines correlated positively with objective signs of oral dryness, and reduced saliva production in the patients. Although CCL21 and IL-4 levels were significantly lower in patient tear fluid, they correlated with subjective ocular symptoms. These increased salivary cytokines affected pro-inflammatory and apoptotic cellular pathways, including T cell signalling, several interleukin signalling pathways, TNF and TGF-β receptor signalling, and the apoptotic p53 pathway. In conclusion, the upregulated salivary cytokines identified suggest an interplay between innate and adaptive immunity, affecting immunoregulatory cellular pathways. Whether this is due to late effects of radiotherapy or tissue repair remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Advances in the reconstructive surgery and minimally invasive endonasal endoscopic surgery of head and neck is poorly evaluated in terms of their impact on radiotherapy planning and outcomes. These surgical advances have resulted in reduced morbidity with equivalent or better tumor control. In the absence of a recommendation on how to delineate target volumes in patients with flaps or to consider margins after endoscopic endonasal surgery, radiotherapy practices are inevitably heterogeneous. Efforts are needed to increase the therapeutic index of postoperative radiotherapy in these situations. We analysed the rare existing literature and outlined a preliminary basis for a recommendation. Strengthening of multidisciplinarity to accurately define target volumes in these complex and relatively new situations, and "delineation concertation meetings" between radiologists, surgeons and radiation oncologists could probably contribute to improved outcomes.

Outcomes and toxicities of definitive radiotherapy and reirradiation using 3-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated (pencil beam) proton therapy for patients with nasal cavity and paranasal sinus malignancies. Cancer 2020; 126:1905-1916.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton therapy (PT) improves outcomes in patients with nasal cavity (NC) and paranasal sinus (PNS) cancers. Herein, the authors have reported to their knowledge the largest series to date using intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in the treatment of these patients. METHODS Between 2013 and 2018, a total of 86 consecutive patients (68 of whom were radiation-naive and 18 of whom were reirradiated) received PT to median doses of 70 grays and 67 grays relative biological effectiveness, respectively. Approximately 53% received IMPT. RESULTS The median follow-up was 23.4 months (range, 1.7-69.3 months) for all patients and 28.1 months (range, 2.3-69.3 months) for surviving patients. The 2-year local control (LC), distant control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 83%, 84%, 74%, and 81%, respectively, for radiation-naive patients and 77%, 80%, 54%, and 66%, respectively for reirradiated patients. Among radiation-naive patients, when compared with 3-dimensional conformal proton technique, IMPT significantly improved LC (91% vs 72%; P < .01) and independently predicted LC (hazard ratio, 0.14; P = .01). Sixteen radiation-naive patients (24%) experienced acute grade 3 toxicities; 4 (6%) experienced late grade 3 toxicities (osteoradionecrosis, vision loss, soft-tissue necrosis, and soft tissue fibrosis) (grading was performed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [version 5.0]). Slightly inferior LC was noted for patients undergoing reirradiation with higher complications: 11% experienced late grade 3 toxicities (facial pain and brain necrosis). Patients treated with reirradiation had more grade 1 to 2 radionecrosis than radiation-naive patients (brain: 33% vs 7% and osteoradionecrosis: 17% vs 3%). CONCLUSIONS PT achieved remarkable LC for patients with nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers with lower grade 3 toxicities relative to historical reports. IMPT has the potential to improve the therapeutic ratio in these malignancies and is worthy of further investigation.

Improve the dosimetric outcome in bilateral head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment using spot-scanning proton arc (SPArc) therapy: a feasibility study. Radiat Oncol 2020; 15:21. [PMID: 32000817 PMCID: PMC6990547 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-020-1476-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the dosimetric improvement, delivery efficiency, and plan robustness for bilateral head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment utilizing a novel proton therapy technique - the spot-scanning proton arc (SPArc) therapy. METHODS We evaluated fourteen bilateral HNC patients retrospectively. Both SPArc and 3-field Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) plans were generated for each patient using the same robust optimization parameters. The prescription doses were 70Gy (relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for CTV_high and 60Gy[RBE] for CTV_low. Clinically significant dosimetric parameters were extracted and compared. Root-mean-square deviation dose (RMSDs) Volume Histogram(RVH) was used to evaluate the plan robustness. Total treatment delivery time was estimated based on the machine parameters. RESULTS The SPArc plan was able to provide equivalent or better robust target coverage while showed significant dosimetric improvements over IMPT in most of the organs at risk (OARs). More specifically, it reduced the mean dose of the ipsilateral parotid, contralateral parotid, and oral cavity by 25.8%(p = 0.001), 20.8%(p = 0.001) and 20.3%(p = 0.001) respectively compared to IMPT. This technique reduced D1 (the maximum dose covering 1% volume of a structure) of cord and brain stem by 20.8% (p = 0.009) and 10.7% (p = 0.048), respectively. SPArc also reduced the average integral dose by 17.2%(p = 0.001) and external V3Gy (the volume received 3Gy[RBE]) by 8.3%(p = 0.008) as well. RVH analysis showed that the SPArc plans reduced the dose uncertainties in most OARs compared to IMPT, such as cord: 1.1 ± 0.4Gy[RBE] vs 0.7 ± 0.3Gy[RBE](p = 0.001), brain stem: 0.9 ± 0.7Gy[RBE] vs 0.7 ± 0.7Gy[RBE](p = 0.019), contralateral parotid: 2.5 ± 0.5Gy[RBE] vs 2.2 ± 0.6Gy[RBE](p = 0.022) and ipsilateral parotid: 3.1 ± 0.7Gy[RBE] vs 2.8 ± 0.6Gy[RBE](p = 0.004) respectively. The average total estimated treatment delivery time were 283.4 ± 56.2 s, 469.2 ± 62.0 s and 1294.9 ± 106.7 s based on energy-layer-switching-time (ELST) of 0.1 s, 1 s, and 5 s respectively for SPArc plans, compared to the respective values of 328.0 ± 47.6 s(p = 0.002), 434.1 ± 52.0 s(p = 0.002), and 901.7 ± 74.8 s(p = 0.001) for 3-field IMPT plans. The potential clinical benefit of utilizing SPArc will lead to a decrease in the mean probability of salivary flow dysfunction by 31.3%(p = 0.001) compared with IMPT. CONCLUSIONS SPArc could significantly spare OARs while providing a similar or better robust target coverage compared with IMPT in the treatment of bilateral HNC. In the modern proton system with ELST less than 0.5 s, SPArc could potentially be implemented in the routine clinic with a practical, achievable treatment delivery efficiency.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Sinonasal malignancies pose a significant challenge in management due to their low incidence, biologic diversity, and significant symptom burden. Even though surgery remains the primary therapeutic modality, a multi-modality approach has been shown to benefit a significant proportion of patients and its success depends largely on stage and histologic type. Non-surgical approaches such as novel radiation approaches as well as intensification with systemic therapy hold promise in altering the organ preservation rate as well as overall survival for patients. Practice changing randomized trials to test these novel modalities are overdue and desperately needed.

Abstract
Radiation induced optic neuropathy (RION) is a rare but disastrous complication of radiation therapy in treatment of periorbital tumors. The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of RION in series of patients treated from peri orbital tumors by recent photon and proton irradiation modalities. We searched the Pub Med database for studies in periorbital tumors including base of skull, sinonasal, pituitary, nasopharyngeal tumors and craniopharyngioma treated with Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and with proton beam therapy (PBT) between 1992 and 2017 excluding metastatic tumors, lymphomas, pediatric series, those treated mainly with chemotherapy, target therapy and those written in languages other than English and French. The result retrieved 421 articles that were revised by the panel. Fourteen articles with IMRT and 27 with PBT reported usable data for the review from which 31studies that had pointed to the doses to the optic nerve (ON) and/or optic chiasm (OC) and incidence of RION have been analyzed. We have found that the incidence of RION had been reported fairly in both modalities and many other factors related to the patient, tumor, and irradiation process interplay in its development. We have concluded that proper treatment planning, good selection of treatment modality, adherence to dose constraints applied to critical structures all along with regular oncological and ophthalmological follow up, control of co-morbidities and early intervention, could help reducing its magnitude.

Abstract
Invasion of the orbit by tumors of the paranasal sinus represents an advanced state of disease. Prognosis has hardly improved in recent decades, despite multimodal therapeutic approaches. Complete resection of the tumor still remains the most promising therapy. Orbital exenteration implies a dramatic event for the patient's psyche and quality of life. If the eye that would have to be exenterated is the only one remaining with sufficient vision, exenteration should be abandoned in consensus with the patient. Aesthetic improvements following exenteration can be achieved by surgical and prosthetic techniques. The method of prosthesis fixation needs to be determined with respect to the patients' individual expectations and manual abilities. The main aspects of functional rehabilitation are good local cleanability and sufficient nasal breathing without encrusted mucus, which can be achieved by restoring the natural laminar airflow. Tumors of the paranasal sinus with orbital invasion represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The information regarding prognosis, therapeutic approaches, post-therapeutic quality of life, and rehabilitation options should be thoroughly discussed by patients and therapists prior to treatment.

Abstract
A 68-year-old man presented with rapid progressive visual loss caused by a progressive local invasive sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) with intracranial invasion. The local relapse of ITAC in the ethmoid sinus was previously treated with palliative radiotherapy and carboplatin-paclitaxel, without response, hence disease progression was seen. Ophthalmological examination revealed irreversible blindness of the left eye and a dramatic progressive visual loss of the right eye. Due to important visual loss caused by optic nerve invasion, a palliative treatment with cisplatin-5-fluorouracyl was started. This therapy resulted in a good clinical response with a regression of the local mass and a partial recovery of the vision.

Abstract
Sinonasal malignancies are rare and heterogeneous cancers located adjacent to critical neurovascular structures. Proximity to the orbit, brain, cranial nerves, and carotid arteries make surgical resection technically challenging and potentially morbid. The gold standard surgical procedure for these cancers has traditionally been the open craniofacial resection. Endoscopic endonasal approaches emerged in the last two decades as a viable alternative for carefully selected patients. The rarity and heterogeneity of the cancers precludes randomized controlled trials. Evidence for surgical approaches is based on case series and multi‐analyses. Current evidence demonstrates that endoscopic approaches do not compromise survival and have lower complication rates. This article provides an update of the current literature examining outcomes for the endoscopic treatment of sinonasal malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prospective evaluation of the results of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for sinonasal cancer compared to 3D conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated 34 patients (pts) treated with postoperative VMAT with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB; RapidArc) from 2011 to 2015. These pts were retrospectively compared with 24 pts treated with 3DCRT from 2003 to 2011. The two sets were not significantly different on sex, mean age, tumor site, stage, histology. Efficacy and toxicity were evaluated. RESULTS Median follow-up was 45 months (range: 6-143 months). Three-year overall survival was 85.2% in VMAT-SIB versus 65.2% in 3DCRT (P = .02). Three-year local control was 81.2% in VMAT-SIB versus 62.5% in 3DCRT (P = .04). There was a reduction of acute (<0.09) and late (0.03) ocular toxicity of grade ≥ 2 for pts with VMAT-SIB. CONCLUSION VMAT significantly improved local control and overall survival in sinonasal cancer with lower rate of toxicity.

Abstract
Paranasal sinus and skull base tumors are rare aggressive head and neck cancers, and typically present in the locally advanced stages. As a result, achieving wide surgical resection with clear margins is a challenge for these tumors, and radiotherapy is thus usually indicated as an adjuvant modality following surgery to optimize local control. Given the integral role of radiotherapy in the management of this subgroup of head and neck tumors, the advent of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has led to substantial improvement of clinical outcomes for these patients. This is primarily driven by the improvement in radiation dosimetry with IMRT compared to conventional two dimensional (2D)- and 3D-techniques, in terms of ensuring dose intensity to the tumor target coupled with minimizing dose exposure to critical organs. Consequently, the evident clinical benefits of IMRT have been in reduction of normal tissue toxicities, ranging from critical neurological symptoms to less debilitating but bothersome symptoms of eye infections and radiation-induced skin changes. Another domain where IMRT has potential clinical utility is in the management of a subset of non-resectable T4 paranasal sinus and skull base tumors. For these inoperable lesions, the steep dose-gradient between tumor and normal tissue is even more advantageous, given the crucial need to maintain dose intensity to the tumor. Innovative strategies in this space also include the use of induction chemotherapy for patient selection. In this review, we summarized the data for the aforementioned topics, including specific discussions on the different histologic subtypes of paranasal sinus and skull base tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal cancers are rare and comprise <1% of all malignancies. This study describes incidence and survival in sinonasal carcinomas in Denmark from 1980 to 2014. METHODS All patients registered in the Danish Cancer Registry in the period were included. Age-adjusted incidence rate, average annual percentage change, and relative survival were calculated. Age-period-cohort models were constructed. RESULTS 1,720 patients with sinonasal carcinoma (median age 67 years, 63% males) were identified. There was no significant change in age-adjusted incidence; 0.70 in 1980 to 0.43 per 100,000 in 2014 (p > .05). Relative 5- and 10-year survival were 52% and 40% for men, 58% and 42% for women. An increase in 5-year survival from 1980 to 2014 from 46% to 65% (p < .05) was found. Nasal carcinomas had a significantly better relative survival compared to sinus carcinoma, as did squamous cell carcinomas when compared to neuroendocrine malignancies. CONCLUSION In Denmark between 1980 and 2014, the incidence of sinonasal carcinomas has been stable and the relative survival has increased significantly.

Definitive Carbon-Ion Radiation Therapy for Locally Advanced Sinonasal Malignant Tumors: Subgroup Analysis of a Multicenter Study by the Japan Carbon-Ion Radiation Oncology Study Group (J-CROS). Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2018; 102:353-361. [PMID: 30191869 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2018.05.074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Revised: 05/21/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carbon-ion radiation therapy (C-ion RT) for locally advanced sinonasal malignant tumors in a multicenter retrospective study (J-CROS 1402 HN). METHODS AND MATERIALS Clinical data were collected for patients who had sinonasal malignant tumors of stage N0-1M0 and received C-ion RT at 4 institutions in Japan between November 2003 and December 2014. Of the 458 patients, 393 had naïve tumors and 65 had recurrent tumors. The tumors were located in the nasal cavity (n = 263), maxillary sinus (n = 109), ethmoid sinus (n = 71), and other locations (n = 15). The histologic types were mucosal melanoma (n = 221, 48%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (n = 122, 27%), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 31, 7%), olfactory neuroblastoma (n = 30, 7%), adenocarcinoma (n = 21, 5%), and other types (n = 33, 7%). Of the 458 patients, 300 (66%) had T4 tumors. All patients received definitive C-ion RT. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 25.2 months for all patients (range, 1.4-132.3 months). The 2-year overall survival and local control rates were 79.6% and 84.1%, respectively. As analyzed according to histology, the 2-year overall survival rate was 68.0% for mucosal melanoma, 96.8% for adenoid cystic carcinoma, 70.0% for squamous cell carcinoma, 96.7% for olfactory neuroblastoma, and 89.7% for adenocarcinoma. Regarding late toxicities, 17% of patients developed grade 3 and 4 toxicities, of which visual impairment was the most common. CONCLUSION The results of our multicenter study have demonstrated that C-ion RT can provide excellent clinical outcomes with acceptable late toxicities in patients who have locally advanced sinonasal malignant tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to determine the clinical outcomes following particle monotherapy (ie, proton therapy [PT] or carbon ion therapy [CIT]) in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma at a single institution. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between August 2001 and March 2012, 59 patients were treated with definitive PT or CIT; none underwent chemotherapy or surgery. Of the patients, 22 (37%) had unresectable disease. PT was used in 38 patients (64%); CIT, 21 patients (36%). Almost half of the patients (n = 29, 47%) received 65.0 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 26 fractions. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 30 months (range, 8-127 months) for all patients and 65 months (range, 9-127 months) for the survivors. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 56.2% and 41.6%, respectively; progression-free survival rates, 42.9% and 34.7%, respectively; and local control rates, 54.0% and 50.4%, respectively. Late toxicities of grade ≥3 occurred in 13 patients (22%). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the largest retrospective study of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma treated with particle therapy alone. The efficacy of PT and CIT indicated that particle therapy can serve an important role in treating this disease.

Abstract
Background Nasal cavity tumors are usually diagnosed late, when they already have infiltrated adjacent tissues thus requiring very aggressive treatments with serious side effects. Here we use electrochemotherapy (ECT), a well demonstrated treatment modality for superficial tumors. Materials and methods In the case of deep-seated tumors, the main limitation of ECT is reaching the tumor with an appropriate electric field. To overcome this limitation we introduce the single needle electrode (SiNE), a minimally invasive device that can deliver an appropriate electric field with a simple procedure. Twenty-one canine patients with spontaneous tumors were selected, eleven were treated using the SiNE with ECT, and ten with surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy as a control group. Results In the SiNE group, 27% achieved a complete response, 64% had a partial response, and 9% had a stable disease. This means that 91% of objective responses were obtained. The mean overall survival was 16.86 months (4–32 months, median 16.5 months), with a survival rate significantly higher (p = 0.0008) when compared with control group. The only side effect observed was the inflammation of the treated nasal passage, which was controlled with corticosteroid therapy for one week. One year after the treatment, 60% of the canine of the SiNE group vs. 10% of the control group remained alive, and after the 32 months follow-up, the survival rate were 30% and 0%, respectively. Conclusions ECT with the SiNE can be safely used in canine to treat nasal tumors with encouraging results.

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.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy has superior outcomes to three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in patients with stage IE-IIE extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
We compared the treatment outcomes, toxicities and prognoses of patients with stage IE-IIE extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Newly diagnosed early-stage ENKTL patients (N = 173) were enrolled and received extended involved-field radiotherapy following induction chemotherapy. Patients were treated with 3DCRT (n = 98) or IMRT (n = 75). One-to-one matching of the IMRT and 3DCRT groups was performed through propensity score matching, which yielded 23 pairs of patients. The two groups achieved similar complete remission rates before and after radiotherapy (P > 0.05). All patients were followed up for a median of 41 months. The rates of local recurrence-free survival (LRFS, P < 0.001), progression-free survival (PFS, P = 0.003) and overall survival (OS, P = 0.003) were longer in the IMRT than 3DCRT group. In the matched patients, IMRT was still associated with superior LRFS (P = 0.024), but not with improved PFS (P = 0.113) or OS (P = 0.115). Multivariate analysis also suggested IMRT was a favorable independent factor for LRFS (HR = 2.230, P = 0.043), but not for PFS (P = 0.195) or OS (P = 0.116). Equivalent acute toxicities were observed for 3DCRT and IMRT; however, among stage II patients who had received cervical irradiation, the rate of late xerostomia was lower in the IMRT than 3DCRT group (38.5% vs. 66.7%, P = 0.046). Overall, IMRT yielded a better treatment response and local control than 3DCRT, and tended to reduce late xerostomia in patients with cervical irradiation, but failed to enhance OS. Thus, IMRT is recommended for the treatment of stage IE-IIE ENKTL patients.

Abstract
Sinonasal carcinomas (SNcs) are rare neoplasms arising from the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. Although these tumours have a heterogeneous histology, they are commonly diagnosed as a locally advanced disease and are associated with a poor prognosis. The present retrospective study reviewed 30 patients with locally advanced SNc, who were treated with surgery followed by chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy, or radiotherapy with or without concomitant chemotherapy between January 1999 and January 2013 at the Department of Radiation Therapy, University of Naples 'Federico II' (Naples, Italy). A total of 19 patients were treated with upfront surgery followed by adjuvant radio- or chemoradiotherapy (group A), while the remaining 11 patients received exclusive radiotherapy with or without concomitant chemotherapy (group B). Concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy (100 mg/m2, days 1, 22 and 43 for 3 cycles) was administered to 34% of patients in group A and 55% of patients in group B. At a median follow-up of 31 months, 33.3% of patients were alive. Cause-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) times were 32 and 12 months, respectively. No difference in CSS rate was observed between the two treatment groups. Univariate analysis determined that disease stage was the only factor that significantly affected CSS (P=0.002) and PFS (P=0.0001) rates. Acute and chronic toxicities were mild, with only 23.3% of patients reporting G1-2 side effects and no treatment-related blindness. The present study reported moderate activity and efficacy of surgery followed by adjuvant radio- or chemoradiotherapy, and exclusive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in this poor prognosis category of patients.
