Nose cancer treatment is a big problem for oncologists, taking in account its high aggressiveness and anatomical proximity with vital organs – the brain, the respiratory tract. The nose cancer treatment is conducted in modern clinics with the latest technologies.

Treatments for nasal cancer include:

·Surgical removal of the tumor;

·Radiation;

·Chemotherapy.

Surgical removal of a cancerous tumor is most effective in stages 1-2, when its complete excision is possible with removal of the nearest lymph nodes. The operation is necessarily complemented by a course of radiotherapy and polychemotherapy.

In the nose cancer treatment in Israel and USA, the program is drawn up individually, depending on the form and stage of the cancer, and complies with the protocols adopted by the World Health Organization. Surgical removal of a tumor that grows in the sinuses and bones is carried out by high-class specialists, in collaboration with plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty or reconstruction of the removed facial bones. With tumor inoperability, stereotactic radiosurgery is used. Polychemotherapy, as a rule, is carried out in all stages of nose cancer treatment, starting with the 2nd, and several chemotherapy drugs are used with a different mechanism of influence on the tumor. Radiotherapy is carried out under the control of modern tomographs that accurately determine the dose, time and place of irradiation of the tumor.

All modern methods are combined and provide the best results for the nose cancer treatment in clinics in spite of the bad background of a common adverse situation.

Most Definite And 3D Images: The Surgeon Sees Better 

The modern approach of endoscopic surgery is now applied in 80 percent of cases to the treatment of inflammatory nasosinusal and benign basal-skull diseases and, in selected cases, also for malignant disease. According to the experts participating in the conference, the benefits, for the benign pathologies, consist mainly in the almost complete eradication of the tumor (in the most favorable situations and with less compromise up to 80 percent of the disease). And in the possibility of interventions in a day hospital for inflammatory pathology, with local anesthesia, a more rapid recovery, and almost invisible traumas. The progress achieved in this direction has today allowed the treatment of both the inflammatory and the malformation (liquor or post-traumatic) malformations of the skull-base, that is of the head and neck, as well as the expansive benign and malignant tumor. The improved quality of the optical fibers and the improvement of the surgical field vision (thanks to high-definition endoscopic instruments, which have greatly optimized the image quality and a three-dimensional technology that allowed the acquisition of the third dimension of the depth) have refined the nose cancer surgery, giving the possibility to faithfully follow anatomical structures, with increasingly minimally invasive interventions.

New Instruments To Preserve The Aesthetics

In practice, the nasal cavities are exploited as natural ports of entry to the base-skull to extract from the nostrils the tumor diseases at the border between the skull and the nose or even intracranial diseases (inside the skull), close to the nose, such as meningiomas (tumors that originate from the cells of the cerebral meninges) of the anterior fossa and all the pathology of the pituitary gland. A progress that has been possible thanks to the introduction of other technological innovations such as angled drills that allow to remove the structures “around the corner” without breaking down what is in front, that is to say working inside the nasal sinuses preserving the structures bearers of the nose and of the facial massif, the ultrasonic suction devices that suck both the neoplastic tissues and the bone without heating,
