Long-term follow-up in locally advanced ITAC demonstrates that resection by EEA is correlated with improved DSS compared to EXTS, especially for T3-4 tumors. No significant differences between both treatment modalities was observed regarding per- and post-operative complications, although hospitalization in patients undergoing EEA was shorter than for patients treated with EXTS. These results confirm that EEA should remain the preferred surgical procedure in operable cases of sinonasal ITAC.
