Routes of Tumor Spread Misconceptions in Paranasal Sinus Cancer Disparity in the care based on where patient treated Some patients deemed incorrectly inoperable and incurable Organ Preservation Chemotherapy/Radiation is an equivalent treatment option. Usually offered when no OHNS input Trials needed The Morbidity of treatment is not worth it The tumor is worse Ed PD.
