title: [Place of radiotherapy in therapy of nose and paranasal sinus neoplasms. Results in 63 patients].
abstract: Therapeutic results in patients with cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of the own clinic are analysed together with some results published in literature. In early cases with cancer of the nasal cavity and cancer of the infrastructure of the maxillary antrum, the results of radiotherapeutic or surgical treatment are equal. In all the other cases -- the majority of the patients -- combined treatment with surgery and high-dose radiotherapy is superior to either treatment modality alone. The 5-year cure rates are: in early cases about 60% and in the other cases about 30%. The distribution of stages in our patients from 1963 to 1973 shows that the majoirty is in a more or less advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis, comparable to earlier reports.
