Morphological variability and its impact on survival in sinonasal malignancies: a 13-year analysis
This study provides a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of sinonasal morphologies based on a unique dataset. Findings reveal a higher incidence and lower survival probability among men. The topographical distribution varies by sex and tumour entity. The mortality rate for patients with sinonasal cancer is moderate to high, particularly for SNUC and mucosal melanoma, with incidences of 8.4% and 2%, respectively. Hence, there is an urgent need for an optimised screening for early-stage malignancies.
