Oncological outcomes involving interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy) on the primary lesion and surgery on the neck for squamous cell carcinomas of the nasal vestibule
The bimodal approach has provided excellent oncological outcomes in SCC-NV. Accurate baseline staging, including PET-CT and US-guided FNAB, is essential. The Rome T classification appears superior to existing systems and may guide future staging revisions. These findings support recent recommendations from the Italian Society of Otolaryngology.
