    Abstract:
    Authors present a critical review of 61 cases of squamous carcinoma of paranasal sinuses. Most of these cases were diagnosed at an advanced stage, allowing only external radiotherapy to be proposed. The mean delivred dose was 6,000 to 6,500 rads, mainly to telecobaltherapy. Survival rates are poor (SVI = 50%, SV3 = 14%, SV5 = 8%) in the same range than values previously published by others. However, it seems possible to point out some practical trends in order to improve the management of the disease:--in all cases, irradiated volumes must be large;--prophylactic irradiation of cervical nodes in also a key point, especially when tumor reaches the oral cavity, the skin or the pterygomaxillary fossa.
