title: [Sinunasal Tumors].
abstract: Sinunasal tumors represent a rare and very heterogeneous group of lesions of the nose, sinuses and skull base with a broad spectrum of different biological activities and clinical behavior, which require an individual and primarily surgical treatment strategy. Despite of mild improvement in the overall survival of patients with sinunasal malignancies (SNM) over the last decade, treatment outcome remains stable on a moderate to low level. This analysis brings up the necessity of a more effective local as well as systemic treatment. Especially new concepts in surgery, chemo radiation as well as antibody treatment offer multimodal treatment strategies that may improve quality of life and overall survival in patients with sinunasal tumors.
