Carcinoma of maxillary antrum: The role of pre‐operative irradiation

Abstract: Nineteen patients with carcinoma of the maxillary antrum were treated sequentially with pre‐operative irradiation and radical surgery. Seven of 19 patients (37 percent) were free of disease for longer than three and one half years (one patient for two years). Infrastructure tumors were more favorable than those involving the entire antrum. The control rate for infrastructure tumors was five of 11 patients (45 percent). The most important cause of failure is the inability to destroy the tumor locally or early l… Show more

“…A meta‐analysis of the English medical literature of articles that addressed the treatment of invasive SCC of the sinonasal tract was also performed. The articles were identified using a Medline search and cross‐referencing 1–61 . The selection criteria for the meta‐analysis included presence of invasive SCC, known outcome at 2 years after therapy, description of any adjunctive therapy that may have influenced the outcome after surgical intervention (i.e., radiation, chemotherapy), and description of the extent of orbital invasion (i.e., bone, soft tissue).…”

“…8 -13 However, aggressive surgery, often with orbital exenteration, is required for locally advanced tumors, and the long-term outcome remains poor, in the range of 12-40%. 5,[27][28][29] Combined-modality treatment-surgery, RT, and chemotherapy-currently is used extensively in a variety of schemes. Organ preservation has been one of the objectives of induction chemotherapy, and the approach was pioneered by the Japanese groups.…”
