Background: There is no consensus regarding the indication for postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for T1- and T2-classified squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) even with negative surgical margins. This study aimed to evaluate whether PORT provides additional benefits for these cases.
Methods: We collected retrospective data from fourteen international hospitals, including resected pT1- and pT2-classified EAC SCC with negative surgical margins.
The following case potentially provides insight into the mechanisms of lymphogenic metastasis in sinonasal cancer. A 63-year-old patient who presented with progressive diplopia and left-sided periocular pain was diagnosed with a cT4bN0M0 mucosal melanoma of the ethmoid sinus. She underwent a combined endonasal and transcranial tumor resection, and an orbital exenteration.

- - The study investigates how low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) impacts complications in patients who had free forearm flap reconstructions after oral cancer surgery.
- - Results indicate that low SMM significantly increases the risk of complications related to free flap surgery and is linked to more severe complications.
- - Therefore, assessing SMM could be crucial for predicting postoperative risks in patients undergoing such reconstructive procedures.
Background: Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is known for its rarity and poor prognosis. This study aims to investigate the trends in the incidence of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma in the Netherlands and to analyze patient characteristics and treatment practices in order to assess their relation with patient outcomes.
Methods: In this prospectively designed population-based cohort study, all patients diagnosed with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma between 2008 and 2021 in the Netherlands were included.
