The objective of this study was to report outcomes for 19 consecutive patients with SMARCB1 (INI-1)-deficient sinonasal carcinoma. Patients were treated from 2014 to 2021 and followed for a median of 22.3 months. The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 31.8 and 9.9 months, respectively. Patients with nasal cavity or maxillary sinus tumors had 84% better disease-specific survival (DSS) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.136; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.028-0.66; p = .005) and 71% better DFS (HR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.097-0.84; p = .041) than patients with other sinonasal sites. Patients who received induction chemotherapy were 76% less likely to die of disease (DSS HR, 0.241; 95% CI, 0.058-1.00; p = .047). In the largest single-institution study of SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma to date, OS and DFS approached 3 years and 1 year, respectively, but were better for nasal cavity and maxillary sinus tumors. Patients may benefit from induction chemotherapy.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) (HPV+ SNSCC) is a recently recognized entity that accounts for up to one-third of SNSCC. Although at present these cancers are not routinely tested for HPV, the incidence is increasing and HPV+ SNSCC is associated with superior survival outcomes compared with HPV- SNSCC. Here, we present the case of a patient with HPV+ SNSCC treated with endoscopic resection followed by postoperative radiation and review the literature summarizing epidemiology and management of this disease, with emphasis on the importance of HPV testing in SNSCC.

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare tumor with a high 5-year mortality rate. However, proteomic technologies have not yet been utilized to identify SNSCC-associated proteins, which could be used as biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to discover a biomarker to predict SNSCC patients using proteomic analysis integrated with machine learning models.

: Sinonasal malignancies are rare and highly diverse cancers that pose significant diagnostic challenges due to their variable histological features and complex anatomical locations. Accurate diagnosis is critical for guiding treatment, yet conventional methods often require multiple biopsies. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) for real-time imaging of sinonasal tumors to characterize specific features of different entities and improve diagnostic precision.

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare tumor with high mortality and recurrence rates. However, SNSCC carcinogenesis mechanisms and potential therapeutic drugs have not been fully elucidated. This study investigated the key molecular mechanisms and hub proteins involved in SNSCC carcinogenesis using proteomics and bioinformatic analysis.

Background: Sinonasal malignancies, in which squamous cell carcinomas are the most common are rare and difficult to treat given the location and anatomical structures involved. Sinonasal malignancies often present late due to non-specific and benign symptoms. Partial resections are often associated with poorer outcomes [1].
