Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended endoscopic endonasal surgery (EEES) is an essential part of treatment of various pathologies of the anterior skull base. In addition to significant improvements in the quality of life of affected patients and a lower complication profile compared to open skull base surgery, the therapeutic results are comparable if the indications are correct. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of all endoscopic endonasal skull base procedures performed at the University Skull Base Center Hamburg under the direction of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology between June 2018 and November 2022 were retrospectively collected. RESULTS A total of 50 cases were identified. Of these, 56% (28/50) were malignant tumors, 24% (12/50) were benign pathologies with direct skull base involvement, and 20% (10/50) were anterior skull base defects with rhinoliquorrhea. In 96% (48/50) of cases, the preoperatively set goal of surgery (representative biopsy, complete resection, closure of the skull base defect) could be achieved. Complications grade III or higher according to Clavien-Dindo occurred in 4/50 cases. During the observation period, n = 5 olfactory neuroblastomas were diagnosed, all of which were exclusively and successfully operated on endoscopically. CONCLUSION In recent years, the spectrum of endoscopically resectable pathologies of the anterior skull base has steadily expanded. In particular, midline-related tumors such as olfactory neuroblastoma or iatrogenic/idiopathic skull base defects with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea are treated completely endoscopically with very good results. Nevertheless, there are also limitations to this technique. Due to high variance in the scope of frontobasal surgery, the extent, and the complex anatomy, as well as the overlapping responsibilities of the specialist disciplines, establishment of certified skull base centers and bundling of frontobasal surgery at these centers is highly relevant for quality assurance.

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

Abstract
Sinonasal malignant tumors are characterized by high histological variability and complexity of the differential diagnosis. Currently, there are classifications of these tumors, which are based on their localization and involvement of various anatomical structures. However, generally accepted algorithms for treatment of this pathology have not yet been developed. This review describes the most important algorithms for treatment of the most common histological variants of sinonasal malignant tumors: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, adenoid cystic cancer, and sinonasal adenocarcinoma. The main problems in choosing the approach for treating these tumors are the lack of generally accepted resectability criteria and contradictions between oncological and neurosurgical indications for surgical treatment. Further research is needed to study the role of radiosensitizers and radioprotectors in comprehensive treatment of sinonasal malignant tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analysis of factors affecting life expectancy at patients with primary malignant tumors of anterior and middle parts of the skull base with intracranial invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS 139 patients (47 women and 92 men) with primary malignant tumors of the anterior and middle parts of the skull base with intracranial invasion (stage T4 according to TNM classification or stage C according to Kadish classification for estesioneuroblast ) were treated at the NMRCN Burdenko for the period from 2004 till 2018. The study was conducted by the method of total sampling. The observations are divided into 2 groups: primarily operated (group I) and repeatedly operated (group II). RESULTS The average age in both groups was 50 years. In most (64.7%) cases, the tumor affected the medial sections of the base of anterior and middle cranial fossae, and in 35.3% of cases it was localized laterally. All tumors were classified to T4 stage according to TNM classification or (9 olfactory neuroblastomas) to stage C according to Kadish classification. DISCUSSION The impact on life expectancy was largely provided by postoperative radiation therapy, the repeated nature of operation, and the presence of brain infiltration. In the total cohort of patients 5-year OS, 5-year RVS, 5-year-old IDF and 5-year LC were 50.7, 35, 54.2 and 36.4%, respectively. In group I, the medians OS and IDF were equal and amounted to 138.3 months. The median RVS was 43.8 months. 5-year OS equal to 63.6%, 5-year RVS - 40.8%, 5-year-IDF - 64.8%, 5-year LC was up to 65.7%. The survival rate in the analyzed cohort for 1, 2, 3 years was 81.4, 71.8 and 67.8%, respectively. In group II, the treatment results for the group of repeatedly treated patients were significantly worse. There were no cases of 5-year survival. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 59.3, 50.8 and 31.8%, respectively. The median OS was 27.1 months, IDF was 27.1 months, RVS was 18.2 months, and LC was 9.1 months. CONCLUSION The results and analysis of literature justify the feasibility of surgical treatment of patients with malignant tumors of craniofacial localization at T4 stage. The purpose of surgical intervention should be: elimination of the immediate threat to the patient's life due to edema and dislocation of the brain; the maximum possible removal of tumor tissue (cytoreduction); if possible, the elimination of the most significant symptoms for the patient (pain, nasal breathing disorders, cosmetic defect). If there are special reserves, it is obligatory to include radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment process.

Abstract
Objective Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the paranasal sinuses is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, making curative therapy difficult. The goal of this study was to evaluate the management and outcomes of patients with SCC treated at our institution. Methods In a population-based consecutive prospective cohort, we conducted an analysis of all patients treated for SCC between 1988 and 2017. Results A total of 72 patients were included, follow-up was 100%. Mean follow-up was 57 months for the entire cohort, and 108 months for patients with no evidence of disease. Eighty-two percent of all patients had high-stage (T4) disease. Fifty-seven patients underwent treatment with curative intent; consisting of surgery with or without oncologic treatment in 34, and of oncologic treatment only in 23 cases. Fifteen patients received palliative treatment. The rates of overall survival for the entire cohort were 55% at 2, 41% at 5, and 32% at 10 years, and corresponding disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were 55, 45, and 34%, respectively. DSS rates after surgical treatment with curative intent were 81% at 2, 65% at 5, and 54% at 10 years. Retromaxillary involvement and nonradical surgery were negative prognostic factors. Best survival was achieved with the combination of radical surgery and adjuvant oncologic treatment. Conclusion Surgical resection with a curative intent yielded 65% at 5-year DSS even in this cohort of patients with high-stage SCC and is still considered as the treatment of choice, preferably in combination with adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preservation of contralateral mucosa with microscopic tumor invasion in unilateral septal involvement increases the recurrence risk. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of invasion of contralateral mucosa in unilateral septal involvement of cancer and to risk stratify patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review of patients with histologically proven malignancy with unilateral septal involvement and absence of gross septal tumor involvement on the contralateral side were included. RESULTS Among 40 patients, majority (55%) belonged to sixth and seventh decade. The most common type was squamous cell carcinoma (63%). Approximately one-fourth (23%) showed microscopic contralateral invasion. Females (OR 12; 95% CI 2.01-71.35) and patients with septal bone invasion (OR 28.5; CI 3.35-242.0) had a higher risk of developing contralateral mucosal invasion. CONCLUSION Complete resection of contralateral mucosa is preferred in areas along the bony septum. When complete resection is not performed, intraoperative frozen section is strongly recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniofacial resection (CFR) is still considered as the gold standard for managing sinonasal malignancies of the anterior skull base (ASB), while endoscopic approaches are gaining credibility. The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent CFR at our institution and to compare our results to international literature. METHOD Retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing CFR between 1995 and 2017, and systematic literature review according to the PRISMA statement. RESULTS Forty-one patients with sinonasal malignancy (81% with stage T4) of the ASB were included. There was no operative mortality. Complications were observed in 9 cases. We obtained 100% follow-up with mean observation of 100 months. Disease-specific survival rates were 90%, 74%, and 62% and recurrence-free survival was 85% at two, 72% at five, and 10 years follow-up, respectively. CFR as primary treatment, en bloc resection, and resection with negative margins correlated to better survival. Recursive partition analysis identified the latter as the most important prognostic factor, regardless of surgical technique. The relative risk of non-radicality was significantly higher after piecemeal resection compared to en bloc resection. Compared to 15 original articles, totaling 2603 patients, eligible for review, the present study has the longest follow-up time, the second highest 5-year OS, and the third highest 5-year DSS, despite having a higher proportion of patients with high-stage disease. CONCLUSION CFR in true en bloc fashion can still be considered as the treatment of choice in cases of advanced-stage sinonasal malignancies invading the ASB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal inverted papillomas (IPs) can be associated synchronously or metachronously to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in 5% to 10% of cases. The purposes of the present study were to analyze the outcomes of patients with sinonasal SCC arising from inverted papilloma (IP-SCC) treated through an endoscopic approach and review the pertinent literature. METHODS The medical records of all patients treated for IP-SCC between 1997 and 2014 at 2 referral centers following a uniform policy were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-four patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 66.8 ± 0.99%, 71.2 ± 0.96%, and 73.1 ± 0.82%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the advanced pT classification (pT3 or greater), the high-grade of tumoral differentiation, the cranioendoscopic approach, and the recurrence of disease impacted negatively on survival rates. CONCLUSION The endoscopic approach provides encouraging oncologic outcomes for sinonasal IP-SCC, comparable to those observed with traditional external approaches while minimizing morbidity for patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Advantage of Extended Craniofacial Resection for Advanced Malignant Tumors of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses: Long-Term Outcome and Surgical Management. World Neurosurg 2016; 89:240-54. [PMID: 26875653 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2016.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2015] [Revised: 02/03/2016] [Accepted: 02/04/2016] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Craniofacial resection (CFR) for advanced sinonasal malignant tumors (SNMTs) is mandatory for radical resection. Surgeons must be aware of perioperative complications and long-term outcome because this procedure is extremely invasive, especially when the tumor involves the anterior skull base. METHODS Thirty-eight consecutive surgical patients with advanced SNMT of T4 stage or Kadish stage C (31 men and 7 women; mean age, 55 years; range: 19-76 years) treated with CFR in the past 28 years were followed up for 59.4 months. In cases of unilateral orbital extension, en-bloc resection was achieved using several neurosurgical techniques (extended CFR) from 2005 onwards. Herein, we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of surgery by comparing survival data between 2 time periods (first stage: 1984-2004, second stage: 2005-2012). RESULTS Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histological type observed (65.8%), followed by esthesioneuroblastoma (15.8%). Using a combination of adjuvant radiation therapy, the 5-year overall survival and the 5-year disease-specific survival rates were 55.5% and 59.4%, respectively. Sarcomatous histology was a poor prognostic factor. The 5-year disease-specific survival rate was 48.9% in the first stage and improved to 82.1% in the second stage (P = 0.057); this was related to improvements in local control rate. CONCLUSIONS CFR and postoperative radiotherapy are safe and effective for treating advanced SNMTs. Extended CFR, including radical orbital exenteration, may contribute to good long-term outcomes. A diverse surgical team may help perform radical resection and reconstruction in patients with advanced tumors.

Role of Craniofacial Resection for Malignant Tumors Involving the Anterior Skull Base: Surgical Experience in a Single Institution. Brain Tumor Res Treat 2015; 3:81-8. [PMID: 26605262 PMCID: PMC4656900 DOI: 10.14791/btrt.2015.3.2.81] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2015] [Revised: 06/24/2015] [Accepted: 07/13/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniofacial resection (CFR) has been regarded as a standard treatment for various tumors involving the anterior skull base. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of CFR for the patients with anterior skull base malignancies in our hospital. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 17 patients with anterior skull base malignancies treated with CFR between 2001 and 2012. Mean follow-up duration was 41 months (range, 2-103 months). RESULTS Intracranial involvement was found in 11 patients (65%) and orbital extension in 6 patients (35%). Classical bifrontal craniotomy was combined with endoscopic endonasal approach in 14 patients and external approach in 3 patients. Vascularized flap was used for reconstruction of the anterior fossa floor in 16 patients (94%). The most common pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (6 patients). Gross total resection was achieved in all cases. Postoperative complications developed in 4 patients (24%) and included local wound problem and brain abscess. One patient with liver cirrhosis died from unexpected varix bleeding after the operation. Although postoperative treatment, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, was performed in 14 patients, local recurrence was seen in 6 patients. The mean overall survival time after the operation was 69.0 months (95% confidence interval: 47.5-90.5 months) with a 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rate of 82.3%, 76.5%, and 64.7%, respectively. Postoperative radiotherapy was found to be the powerful prognostic factor for favorable survival. CONCLUSION Considering the higher local control rate and acceptable complication or mortality rate, CFR with adjuvant radiotherapy is a gold standard treatment option for malignant tumors involving anterior skull base, especially with extensive intracranial involvement.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS CCRT is a potential treatment option for locally advanced sinonasal SCC in terms of organ preservation. OBJECTIVES Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is increasingly used for patients with advanced head and neck cancer to preserve organ function and improve survival. In the present study, treatment outcomes were compared between surgery and post-operative radiotherapy (PORT) and CCRT in patients with locally advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS The records of 30 patients with non-metastatic stage III and IV sinonasal SCC were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen patients were treated with CCRT and 15 patients underwent PORT. RESULTS The locoregional recurrence-free, distant metastasis-free, disease-free, disease-specific, and overall survival rates did not differ between PORT and CCRT groups. In addition, there were no significant differences in incidence rates of acute and chronic toxicities between the two groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete tumor resection with intraoperative frozen section control remains a central tenet of head and neck surgical oncology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of margins in predicting recurrence and disease status following endoscopic resection of sinonasal malignancy. METHODS This single-institution observational cohort study was performed on 68 patients over a 5-year period who underwent curative minimally invasive endoscopic resection (MIER) for sinonasal malignancies. RESULTS The mean age was 58.8 years and 69.1% were male. The mean follow-up after definitive MIER was 15.9 months. A mean of 10.8 margins were taken per surgery (range, 2 to 27). False-negative frozen section analysis was 22.1% for the entire cohort, but slightly higher at 25.0% for T3 or T4 malignancies. At last follow-up, no evidence of disease (NED) status was noted in 60.0% of those with positive margins vs 83.0% in those with negative margins, respectively (p = 0.0795). Regional or distant recurrences were observed in 39.9% of patients with positive margins and 13.2% of those with negative margins, respectively (p = 0.0299). Disease-free survival (DFS) was 9.7 months for patients with positive margins, whereas it was 15.9 months for patients with negative margins. CONCLUSION Disease-free status as a function of residual microscopic disease did not prove to be statistically significant. However, positive margins were correlated with a statistically significant increase in regional or distant recurrence. This suggests that complete resection with clear margins can impact oncologic outcomes in patients managed by MIER for sinonasal cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oncologic outcomes for sinonasal and skull base squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) needs investigation. METHODS Patients with SCC treated with EEA were stratified by treatment strategy and tumor etiology and reviewed. RESULTS Thirty-four patients were treated with EEA, or which 27 had definitive resection and 7 had debulking surgery. In the definitive group, 17 had de novo tumors and 10 had tumors arising from inverted papilloma. Definitive resection was associated with better 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) than debulking (62% vs 17%; p = .02; and 78% vs 30%; p = .03). Patients with de novo tumors had similar 5-year DFS and OS to those arising from inverted papilloma (62% vs 62%; p = .75; and 75% vs 86%; p = .24). CONCLUSION Definitive resection of sinonasal SCC with EEA provides sound oncologic outcomes. SCC arising from inverted papilloma does not have prognostic significance.

Abstract
Sinonasal malignancies, a rare group of tumors, are characterized by histological heterogeneity and poor survival. As improvements in image-guidance and endoscopic technologies became incorporated into head and neck oncologic and neurosurgical practice, the application of these technologies and techniques to the surgical management of sinonasal malignancy began. Over the past decade, there has been increasing evidence regarding the safety and oncological effectiveness of these techniques. Several institutions have reported their experience with endoscopic surgery and have shown reduced morbidity, better quality of life, and survival outcomes equivalent to those of open surgery in carefully selected patients. Endoscopic cranial base surgery is a rapidly evolving field. We review the literature on oncological outcomes, safety, quality of life, and recent technological advances.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Modern advances in endonasal endoscopic surgery have expanded its utility in the management of malignant sinonasal tumours, and the degree to which cases are eligible. Knowledge of the indications, inclusion and exclusion criteria and imaging workup that empowers judicious patient selection is essential. This article discusses the endoscopic resection of malignant sinonasal tumours. CONCLUSION Studies describing the impact of patient quality of life will surely affect the fate of endoscopic resection, but the current trend suggests that this technique stands to replace an open approach when outcomes are similar. Combined craniofacial/endoscopic and craniofacial-only approaches to sinonasal malignancy remain an important option in the management of complex disease.

Abstract
Sinonasal tumors can invade into the critical structures of the anterior and central skull base. Although the determination of precise tumor histology is difficult with imaging, radiology is important in helping differentiate malignant from benign disease. Imaging helps to map the anatomical extent of intracranial and intraorbital tumor, which has important implications for staging, treatment and prognosis. Imaging also helps to facilitate and plan for craniofacial or endoscopic surgical approaches and radiation planning. This paper will review the locoregional invasion patterns for sinonasal tumors, with emphasis on their imaging features. The authors will discuss the implications for staging, resection potential, choice and details of radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy and prognosis. The imaging assessment of structures and compartments that are critical to the skull base team are highlighted: orbit, cavernous sinus, anterior cranial fossa dura/intracranial tumor, lateral frontal sinus, vascular tumor encasement, perineural tumor spread and tumor effect on the surrounding bony structures.
