Combined Modality Treatment Including Neutron Therapy for Tumors of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study group comprised 91 patients with nasal cavity cancer and paranasal sinuses cancer who received the combined modality treatment with the use of 6.3 MeV fast neutrons generated within U-120 cyclotron. The method of combined modality treatment for locally advanced malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses was found to be more effective compared to the conventional treatment in terms of the 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates.
