Cancer of the maxillary sinus treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy.
This is an analysis of 37 previously untreated patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus treated with curative intent at the University of Florida from January 1966 through January 1984. All patients were followed for at least two years and 86 per cent (32/27) were followed for a minimum of five years. Patients were treated for cure with radiation therapy alone (25), surgery alone (1), or surgery and preoperative (6) or postoperative (5) radiation therapy. This study presents the results of treatment and the incidence of treatment-related complications in this group of patients.
