Role of combined modality treatment in advanced squamous carcinoma of the maxillary sinus

This communication is a prospective non-randomised study of 17 cases seen at this centre during 1984. Twelve cases which received radiotherapy and radical surgery form the basis of this analysis. Four of five (80%) cases who received only radiation and surgery survived diseasefree for 4 years as compared to three of seven (43%) who received additional induction chemotherapy. Overall, seven (58%) of these are disease-free for more than 4 years.
