Popis: Objectives. Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) often invades the orbit. The treatment approach for sinonasal cancer that has spread to the orbit varies across medical centers and depends on the extent of the invasion. The decision to preserve the orbit in the treatment strategy is made on a case-by-case basis and results in varying outcomes. Currently, a multimodal treatment regimen, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), is commonly adopted for managing sinonasal cancers. This study aims to assess the prognosis of sinonasal SqCC with orbital invasion from various perspectives. Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of patients with primary sinonasal SqCC invading the orbit who were treated at Seoul National University Hospital and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between 2009 and 2018. The extent of the tumor, orbital invasion, treatment strategies, recurrence rates, and survival rates were analyzed. Results. Overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) rates showed no significant differences based on the grade of orbital invasion. When tumor resection with orbit preservation was employed as the definitive treatment, DFS was significantly extended compared to cases where surgery was not the definitive treatment (RT or CCRT). Additionally, there was no significant difference in DFS between patients who underwent orbit exenteration and those who underwent tumor resection with orbit preservation as the definitive treatment. Conclusion. Tumor resection with orbit preservation as the definitive treatment appears to be the preferred approach, prolonging DFS and increasing the likelihood of longer-term survival in cases of SqCC with orbital invasion.
