Abstract

From 1965 to 1978, we encountered 13 cases of carcinoma of the nasal cavity, which were statistically observed and found to be 6.7% of all the tumors of the nose and paranasal cavities.<br>Nasal cavity tumors are rather small in number, but they are pathologically quite rich in character. It has been revealed that nasal cavity tumors hold a special position in the classification of tumors. Adequate treatment for carcinomas of the nasal cavity demands a thorough evaluation of the site of origin and route of spread of the tumor.<br>Since these lesions tend to remain localized, the problem is principally one of local control of the disease. Failure to achieve local control seems to reflect initial underestimation of the extent of the disease. In general, nasal cavity tumors have favorable prognoses compared with the tumors of the paranasal sinuses. The five-year crude survival rate was 60.0%.
