Sinonasal mucosal melanoma in The Netherlands between 2001 and 2021: a clinical and epidemiological overview of 320 cases. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024:10.1007/s00405-024-08717-7. [PMID: 38761218 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-024-08717-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare malignancy, characterised by high (local) recurrence rates and poor survival. Comprehensive understanding of tumour etiology is currently lacking, which complicates adequate tumour treatment. Besides examining trends in incidence, this study aims to assess the association between clinical characteristics, treatment practices and patient outcomes, with the objective of establishing a baseline from which SNMM management can be enhanced. METHODS All newly diagnosed SNMM cases in The Netherlands between 2001 and 2021 were included using data from The Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). RESULTS A total of 320 patients were included. The annual incidence rate for the overall population was stable over the inclusion period with an annual percentage change (APC) of only - 0.01%. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and relative survival (RS) were 24.5 and 32.4%, respectively. Relative survival did not increase over time. The addition of adjuvant radiotherapy to surgery was not associated with a higher OS and RS compared to surgery alone. CONCLUSION Sinonasal mucosal melanoma is a rare disease with stable incidence rates in the Netherlands between 2001 and 2021. There has been no improvement in survival over the course of the inclusion period. The study reaffirms that adjuvant radiotherapy does not seem to improve patient outcomes. Given the generally poor outcomes for SNMM patients, novel therapeutic options ought to be considered in order to improve care.

From apparent pseudoprogression to durable complete remission of expansile destructive sinonasal mucosal melanoma under pembrolizumab after primary endoscopic resection: A case report. SAGE Open Med Case Rep 2024; 12:2050313X241253471. [PMID: 38741602 PMCID: PMC11089941 DOI: 10.1177/2050313x241253471] [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: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Head and neck mucosal melanoma is a rare but highly aggressive malignant tumor that usually has a poor prognosis. We describe a 53-year-old male patient, having no any medical history, with left maxillary sinus mucosal melanoma causing bilateral lung metastasis. Rapid tumor regrowth was observed on the 49th day after radical tumor resection. Subsequent pembrolizumab immunotherapy initially elicited pseudoprogression, for which add-on radiation therapy was carried out during maintenance pembrolizumab. A gradual decrease in tumor volume and complete remission were observed by a series of magnetic resonance imaging scans and lung windows of a computer tomography scan of chest. At the 29-month follow-up, the patient was rendered disease-free. In conclusion, head and neck mucosal melanoma may regrow rapidly after surgical resection and pseudoprogression could be frightening during immunotherapy. Subsequent single-agent pembrolizumab plus localized radiation therapy aiming to release more tumor antigens may offer the possibility of long-term remission.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (NPMM) is a highly aggressive disease. The role of postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy is controversial. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 300 patients with NPMM treated between March 2009 and January 2020 were divided into surgery alone (SA; 158 patients) and surgery plus radiation therapy (SR; 142 patients) groups. Postoperative radiation therapy was recommended, with a total dose of 65 to 70 Gy/30 to 35 fractions to the gross tumor volume and 60 Gy/30 fractions to the clinical target volume. The primary endpoint was relapse-free survival. Secondary endpoints included local recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 50.0 months, relapse-free survival in the SA and SR groups was 9.8 and 15.2 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.714; 95% CI, 0.546-0.933; P = .014). Distant metastasis-free survival in the SA and SR groups was 23.8 and 21.3 months (HR, 0.896; 95% CI, 15.7-31.9 vs 13.3-29.3; P = .457). Overall survival in the SA and SR groups was 31.0 and 35.1 months (HR, 0.816; 95% CI, 25.7-36.3 vs 27.1-43.2; P = .178). For patients with stage IVA NPMM, radiation therapy reduced the incidence of relapse by 0.43-fold. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative radiation therapy played a crucial role in the local control of resected NPMM, especially in patients with stage T4a or IVA disease.

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.

Pericranial Flap-Based Multilayer Reconstruction of Endoscopic Transcribriform Craniectomy for Sinonasal Malignancies. Laryngoscope 2023; 133:2942-2947. [PMID: 37503776 DOI: 10.1002/lary.30921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diffusion of endoscopic techniques for the resection of ethmoid bone malignancies through a transcribriform approach (TA) has raised new challenges regarding reconstruction options to reduce post-operative complications. Although there is consensus on the advantages of vascularized flaps over free grafts for large defects, no standard protocol exists on reconstruction procedures. In addition, although the pedicled nasoseptal flap has been extensively discussed, few studies have been published on extranasal pedicled flaps. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a detailed description of a reconstruction technique for large anterior skull base defects with the pericranial flap as part of a multilayered reconstruction. Moreover, patients treated with this approach were retrospectively assessed for post-operative complications. METHODS A detailed description of the reconstruction procedure as performed in our departments is provided. Pictures depicting the main surgical steps are also included. In addition, preliminary functional results from a retrospective series of patients who underwent a TA and subsequent pericranial flap-based multilayer reconstruction for ethmoid roof malignancies between 2016 and 2022 at two institutional centers are reported. RESULTS 16 patients were included in the study. Nine patients (56.3%) underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. Two patients had a biochemically-confirmed postoperative CSF leak. Only one of the two patients required surgical revision. During follow-up (mean 13 months), no other early nor delayed complications were observed. CONCLUSION A standardized surgical technique with pericranial flap as part of a multilayered reconstruction for large anterior skull base defects following resection of sinonasal malignancies is proposed, which appears to be a safe choice when endonasal flaps are not available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard of care for sinonasal mucosal melanoma is surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). Our treatment strategy comprises endoscopic resection and PORT. We performed combined endoscopic and open resection or applied an external approach alone when sufficient resection was difficult to achieve endoscopically. The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity of our treatment strategy. METHODS We assessed 30 patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma who underwent definitive therapy between January 2002 and April 2021, and conducted a retrospective analysis. The median follow-up period was 2.2 years. The primary endpoint was overall survival. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for the calculation of survival rates, the cumulative incidence of distant metastasis, and local recurrence. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients underwent surgery. The other two patients were treated by definitive proton beam therapy. Twenty-one of 28 (75%) patients underwent resection by endoscopic approach alone. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed for all 28 patients who underwent surgery. Twenty-one patients (70%) experienced recurrence during the observation period. Overall, distant metastasis was observed in 19 patients. Twelve patients died during the observation period, with 10 of the 12 patients (83%) dying of distant metastasis. The overall survival rate at 2 and 5 years was 70% and 46%, respectively. The cumulative incidence rate of distant metastasis at 2 years was 63%, while the 2-year cumulative incidence rate of local recurrence was 6.7%. CONCLUSION The local disease was controlled by our treatment strategy. To improve treatment outcomes, control of the distant metastasis is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW During the past few years there has been an expansion in our understanding of gene fusions and translocations involved in cancer of the sinonasal tract. Here we review the downstream biologic effects, clinical characteristics, and pathologic features of these tumors. The molecular consequences and neo-antigens resulting from these chromosomal aberrations are considered and targets for current and future clinical trials discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Several new, clinically relevant, chromosomal aberrations have been discovered and evaluated to varying degrees in sinonasal tumors including DEK::AFF2, BRD4::NUT, ADCK4::NUMBL, and ETV6::NTRK3. Sinonasal malignancies demonstrate a diverse genetic landscape and varying clinical courses. Recent studies illustrate that gene fusions and translocations may play a role in carcinogenesis in certain sinonasal tumor subtypes and may be used to develop new biomarker-driven and patient-centered treatments.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an extremely rare and challenging sinonasal malignancy with a poor prognosis. Standard treatment involves complete surgical resection, but the role of adjuvant therapy remains unclear. Crucially, our understanding of its clinical presentation, course, and optimal treatment remains limited, and few advancements in improving its management have been made in the recent past.
Methods We conducted an international multicenter retrospective analysis of 505 SNMM cases from 11 institutions across the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe. Data on clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes were assessed.
Results One-, three-, and five-year recurrence-free and overall survival were 61.4, 30.6, and 22.0%, and 77.6, 49.2, and 38.3%, respectively. Compared with disease confined to the nasal cavity, sinus involvement confers significantly worse survival; based on this, further stratifying the T3 stage was highly prognostic (p < 0.001) with implications for a potential modification to the current TNM staging system. There was a statistically significant survival benefit for patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy, compared with those who underwent surgery alone (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.57–0.96, p = 0.021). Immune checkpoint blockade for the management of recurrent or persistent disease, with or without distant metastasis, conferred longer survival (HR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.25–1.00, p = 0.036).
Conclusions We present findings from the largest cohort of SNMM reported to date. We demonstrate the potential utility of further stratifying the T3 stage by sinus involvement and present promising data on the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors for recurrent, persistent, or metastatic disease with implications for future clinical trials in this field.

Abstract
Endoscopic endonasal surgery has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of selected cases of sinonasal cancers. However, in cases of locally advanced neoplasms, as well as recurrences, the most appropriate approach is still debated. The present review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on the utility of open approaches to resect sinonasal malignant tumours. Published comparative studies and meta-analyses suggest comparable oncological results with lower morbidity for the endoscopic approaches, but selection biases cannot be excluded. After a critical analysis of the available literature, it can be concluded that endoscopic surgery for selected lesions allows for oncologically safe resections with decreased morbidity. However, when endoscopic endonasal surgery is contraindicated and definitive chemoradiotherapy is not appropriate, craniofacial and transfacial approaches remain the best therapeutic option.

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

Abstract
Purpose of Review Sinonasal tumors are rare and heterogeneous diseases which pose challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Despite significant progress made in surgical, oncological, and radiotherapy fields, their prognosis still remains poor. Therefore, alternative strategies should be studied in order to refine diagnosis and improve patient care. Recent Findings In recent years, in-depth molecular studies have identified new biological markers, such as genetic abnormalities and epigenetic variations, which have allowed to refine diagnosis and predict prognosis. As a consequence, new histological entities have been described and specific subgroup stratifications within the well-known histotypes have been made possible. These discoveries have expanded indications for immunotherapy and targeted therapies in order to reduce tumor spread, thus representing a valuable implementation of standard treatments. Summary Recent findings in molecular biology have paved the way for better understanding and managing such rare and aggressive tumors. Although further efforts need to be made in this direction, expectations are promising.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the safety, effectiveness and perioperative costs of endonasal endoscopic approach in brain invasive malignant sinonsal tumours patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a case series bidirectional study; that included 30 brain invasive malignant sinonsal tumours patients treated by endonasal endoscopic approach (2015-2017) and 53 by open surgery (2010-2015). Propensity score matching was used to compensate the prognostic factors; in a sample of 50 patients (25 per group). Primary response variables was local control and 3-years overall survival. Perioperative cost variables were analyzed. RESULTS A number of 50 patients were included after matching (25 in each therapeutic group). The age average was 55 years and male proportion was 62%. Squamous cell carcinoma and grade II lesions were the most represented in the sample. Endonasal endoscopic approach reduced surgical time in 1 h 20 min, transfusion needs in 5.5 fold and hospitalization in 19 days; in comparison with open technique. Oncologic control based on surgical free margins, local control, overall survival and progression free survival after three years was higher when the resection was performed endoscopically. Functional status was enhanced and complications diminished by using endoscopic approach. Saving was estimated in $7 355.18 per patient. CONCLUSIONS Endonasal endoscopic approach represents a safe, effective and economic procedure in selected patients with malignant sinonasal tumors and brain invasion.

Abstract
Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of sinonasal cancer. Many surgical approaches have been described, including open, endoscopic, or combined approaches. The choice is based on several criteria: general criteria related to the oncological results and morbidity of each technique, specific criteria related to the tumor (tumor extensions, tumor pathology), the patient, or the surgeon himself. The aims of this review are (i) to provide a complete overview of the surgical techniques available for the management of sinonasal malignant tumors, with a special focus on recent developments in the field of transnasal endoscopic surgery; (ii) to summarize the criteria that lead to the choice of one technique over another. In particular, the oncological outcomes, the morbidity of the different techniques, and the specificities of each histologic subtype will be discussed based on a comprehensive literature review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of endoscopic and open resection of sinonasal malignancies. METHODS The search was performed using PubMed (1950-2020), Embase (1974-2020), the Cochrane library, and the website clinicaltrials.gov. The hazard ratio, HR, 95% confidence interval, CI, of the rates of overall survival and disease-free survival and the demographic characteristics of the included studies were extracted and analyzed. Pooled analysis was conducted with the studies' individual patient data, using log-rank test, Kaplan-Meier survival, and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Of 1939 articles retrieved, 23 articles were included. Overall, 1373 cases were incorporated into the final analysis, 653 (47.56%) of which underwent the surgery through an endoscopic approach, whereas 720 (52.44%) cases utilized the open approach. The overall survival was comparable between endoscopic and open resection (HR = 0.84 [95% CI: 0.65-1.07], p = 0.16; random effects analysis). Pooled analysis with Cox regression revealed signifcant differences in overall survival (HR = 0.568 [95%CI:0.380-0.849], p = 0.006) and disease-free survival (HR = 0.628 [95%CI:0.424-0.929], p = 0.02) between endoscopic and open approaches. CONCLUSION The aggregated evidence suggests the survival outcome of endoscopic resection is comparable or greater than that of open resection of sinonasal malignancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive cancer usually managed with surgical resection. This study evaluates the impact of treatment modality and positive surgical margin (PSM) on survival following resection of SNMM. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of a national cancer registry. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for cases of SNMM from 2010 to 2015. Data regarding patient demographics, tumor staging, and treatment modality were obtained. Survival rates were compared by margin status: PSM, negative (NSM), and no operation (0SM) using Kaplan-Meier analysis and log rank test. RESULTS A total of 446 patients met inclusion criteria. Most cases were elderly (>66 years-old) (67.3%), female (54.3%), and white (89.5%). Cases of SNMM most commonly involved the nasal cavity (81.6%), were Stage 3 (60.0%), and underwent surgical resection at an academic center (65.0%). NSM and PSM were present in 59.0% and 26.9% of cases, respectively, while 14.1% of cases did not undergo surgical resection (0SM). Factors predictive of PSM included resection at a community hospital (OR 2.47) and Stage 4 disease (OR 2.07). The 2-year survival rates were 72.1% (95% CI 69.4-75.4%), 36.3% (95% CI 22.0-48.9), and 16.0% (95% CI 8.2-25.4%) for NSM, PSM and 0SM, respectively. Survival was statistically significant between NSM and PSM (Log rank <0.001) but not between 0SM and PSM (Log rank = 0.062). CONCLUSION Our study emphasizes the need for NSM for SNMM as PSM did not demonstrate any significant improvement in survival when compared to 0SM. Our findings suggest that cases of SNMM are best managed at academic centers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sinonasal cancers are a heterogenous group of rare cancers for which histopathological diagnosis can be very challenging and treatment options are limited for advanced disease in particular. Here, we review the candidacy of novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and therapeutic targets for sinonasal cancers. RECENT FINDINGS Molecular multidimensional analyses of sinonasal cancers have been lagging behind other major cancers, but there are numerous publications describing the discovery of novel candidate biomarkers, e.g. the methylation classifier, originally developed for brain cancers, and gene expression panels for the prediction of response to induction chemotherapy in sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma. The most promising biomarkers are summarized and discussed further with regard to their clinical applicability and future potential. Many of the described novel biomarkers for sinonasal cancers will eventually overcome the pitfalls associated with the frequently non-specific immunohistological tests. With comprehensive, multidimensional molecular testing of these tumours in collaborative consortia projects, our better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of sinonasal cancers and their carcinogenesis will determine the most useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, allow stringent multi-institutional validation and guide trials on targeted therapies.
