title: Cancer of the paranasal sinuses.
abstract: Cancers of the paranasal sinuses, although rare, continue to cause the death of more than half of patients afflicted with them. The use of combined therapy (surgery and irradiation) has effected some improvement in control, particularly with better surgical and radiation techniques. Unfortunately, better results will not be obtained until earlier diagnoses can be achieved.
