More symptoms may develop as malignant cells further grow and spread into other nearby tissue such as the palate or orbital floor. X-rays of the head and MRI can aid in diagnosis of the cancer while tumor resection surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be used for treatment of the cancer.
Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of cancer originating in the epithelial layer of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. It was first diagnosed in 1987. The aggressive nature of the cancer coupled with the advanced stage of disease upon presentation lead to a poor survival rate.
Improvements in diagnosis and local management, as well as targeted therapy, have led to improvements in quality of life and survival for people with head and neck cancer. [93] After a histologic diagnosis has been established and tumor extent determined, such as with the use of PET-CT, [94] the selection of appropriate treatment for a specific ...

Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is an angiofibroma also known as juvenile nasal angiofibroma, fibromatous hamartoma, and angiofibromatous hamartoma of the nasal cavity. [3] It is a benign but locally aggressive vascular tumor of the nasopharynx that arises from the superior margin of the sphenopalatine foramen and grows in the back of the nasal cavity.
Diagnosis may be accomplished by looking up the nose. [1] A CT scan may be used to determine the number of polyps and help plan surgery. [1] Treatment is typically with steroids, often in the form of a nasal spray. [1] If this is not effective, surgery may be considered. [1]
The I Am Cait star, 68, shared a graphic photo of her face on Tuesday after undergoing a procedure to remove “sun damage” from her nose. In the pic, Caitlyn has on a white robe and is makeup ...
Accumulation of these cancer cells causes a microscopic focus of abnormal cells that are, at least initially, locally confined within the specific tissue in which the progenitor cell resided. This condition is called squamous-cell carcinoma in situ , and it is diagnosed when the tumor has not yet penetrated the basement membrane or other ...
