Treatment of Nasal Cavity Cancer in Carcinoma of the Nasal Vestibule
Carcinoma of the nasal vestibule represents a distinct and less common presentation within nasal cavity malignancies. Its anatomical location and clinical behaviour call for a specific treatment approach informed by site-specific evidence.
Clinical scenario: This protocol applies to patients with nasal cavity cancer arising as carcinoma of the nasal vestibule — a presentation that is less frequent than carcinomas at other sinonasal sites and that requires targeted management considerations.
Treatment approach (partial): For disease that does not respond to radiation therapy or surgery, systemic chemotherapy with combination regimens is a recognised option. The full protocol details the specific agents, combinations, and sequencing — available via the link below.
