Paranasal Sinus and Nasal Cavity Cancer

Paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer are types of head and neck cancers that develop in the spaces around the nose (paranasal sinuses) and the nasal passages. These cancers can arise from the lining of these areas and may be linked to factors like smoking, exposure to certain chemicals, or viral infections. Symptoms often include nasal congestion, facial pain, or unusual nasal bleeding. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Ongoing research aims to improve understanding and treatment of these cancers, enhancing patient outcomes.
