description | Abstract Background To evaluate proton beam therapy (PBT) in multimodal treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus (NPSCC). Methods The cases in this study included T3 and T4 NPSCC without distant metastases that were treated at our center using PBT between July 2003 and December 2020. These cases were classified into 3 groups based on resectability and treatment strategy: surgery followed by postoperative PBT (group A); those indicated to be resectable, but the patient refused surgery and received radical PBT (group B); and those declared unresectable based on the extent of the tumor and treated with radical PBT (group C). Results The study included 37 cases, with 10, 9 and 18 in groups A, B and C, respectively. The median follow-up period in surviving patients was 4.4 years (range 1.0-12.3 years). The 4-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local control (LC) rates were 58%, 43% and 58% for all patients; 90%, 70% and 80% in group A, 89%, 78% and 89% in group B; and 24%, 11% and 24% in group C. There were significant differences in OS (p = 0.0028) and PFS (p = 0.009) between groups A and C; and in OS (p = 0.0027), PFS (p = 0.0045) and LC (p = 0.0075) between groups B and C. Conclusions PBT gave favorable outcomes in multimodal treatment for resectable locally advanced NPSCC, including surgery followed by postoperative PBT and radical PBT with concurrent chemotherapy. The prognosis for unresectable NPSCC was extremely poor, and reconsideration of treatment strategies, such as more active use of induction chemotherapy, may improve outcomes. |
