Improving Local Control for Unresectable/Incompletely Resected Sinonasal Cancer With Hyperfractionated Proton Therapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy

Optimal delivery of local therapy for sinonasal cancers has been limited by adjacent anatomic structures resulting in local control (LC) rates of 20% to 40%. The unique physical characteristics of proton therapy (PT) and hyperfractionation can potentially improve outcomes. The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with unresectable/incompletely resected sinonasal cancer treated with hyperfractionated PT and concurrent chemotherapy.
