The role of radiotherapy in the treatment of primary tumours of the frontal sinuses.
Three cases of primary frontal sinus carcinoma are described, all three in males. Radiotherapy for these tumours can be applied either combined with surgical treatment pre, or postoperatively using supervoltage radiation, or by itself. If applied alone, it may either be a palliative measure in inoperable cases, or a curative measure in radiosensitive tumours.
