Analysis of Treatment Modalities for Advanced Stage Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Maxillary Sinus: A National Cancer Database Study

Conclusion Multimodal treatment of advanced stage maxillary SCCa has a variable effect on outcomes by tumor stage. Our findings suggest that surgery plus neoadjuvant and surgery plus adjuvant treatment are associated with higher rates of survival. Increasing age, Charlson–Deyo score ≥ 1, and undifferentiated/anaplastic grade were associated with worse rates of survival. Further randomized controlled trials are required to quantify the therapeutic benefit of these treatments on survival and organ sparing in advanced stage disease.
