Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses.

The current results indicate that a high proportion of patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma achieved a favorable response to induction chemotherapy. The data suggest that response to induction chemotherapy is associated with an improved outcome and a good chance of organ preservation. The oncologic outcomes in this cohort with locally advanced (mostly T4) disease are better than those historically reported in the literature. Further study of induction chemotherapy in patients with advanced sinonasal squamous carcinoma is warranted.
