  • Title: Staging of maxillary cancer. Which classification?
    Author: Willatt DJ, Morton RP, McCormick MS, Stell PM.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1987; 96(2 Pt 1):137-41. PubMed ID: 3566055.
    Abstract:
    Of the many proposed classifications for staging maxillary sinus cancer, none has been adopted universally and none is known to be superior to the others. This study identified the best of six currently used classifications using data from 53 previously untreated patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. Analysis of each classification's ability to stage the majority of patients, produce a balanced distribution of T stages, and correlate T stage with treatment and prognosis revealed Harrison's classification to be the best. Harrison's classification should be adopted worldwide as the classification of choice for staging squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus.
