Treatment depends on the type of cancer and where the cancer is found.

  • If cancer is in the maxillary sinus, treatment will probably be one of the following:
    1. Radiation therapy.
    2. A clinical trial of chemotherapy before surgery or radiation therapy.
    3. A clinical trial of chemotherapy following radiation therapy.
    4. A clinical trial of chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy.
  • If cancer is in the ethmoid sinus, treatment may be one of the following:
    1. Surgery followed by radiation therapy.
    2. Radiation therapy followed by surgery.
    3. A clinical trial of chemotherapy before surgery or radiation therapy.
    4. A clinical trial of chemotherapy following surgery with or without radiation therapy.
    5. A clinical trial of chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy.
  • If cancer is in the sphenoid sinus, treatment will probably be radiation therapy.
  • If cancer is in the nasal cavity, treatment may be one of the following:
    1. Surgery.
    2. Radiation therapy.
    3. Surgery plus radiation therapy.
    4. A clinical trial of chemotherapy before surgery or radiation therapy.
    5. A clinical trial of chemotherapy following surgery with or without radiation therapy.
    6. A clinical trial of chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy.
  • If the cancer is an inverting papilloma, treatment will probably be surgery. If the cancer comes back after surgery, patients may receive radiation therapy.
