In the years 1966-80, 96 patients with malignant tumors of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were surgically treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Cracow. Out of 29 patients with macro and microscopic radical surgical treatment, 11 (37.9%) survived 5 years. The remained 62 patients, considering non-radical surgical treatment, have been additionally treated by full course of irradiation. Out of this group 34 (54.8%) survived 5 years. These data suggest that indications for additional irradiation should be extended.
