Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery for Advanced Paranasal Sinus Cancer

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Paranasal Sinus Neoplasms
Registration Number
NCT00347256
Lead Sponsor
University of Tennessee
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy pre-operatively in patients with advanced paranasal sinus cancer. The main objectives of this study are: 1) to measure the rate of complete response to preoperative chemoradiation and 2) to study the efficacy of combining preoperative chemoradiation and surgery in terms of local control of the cancer two years post treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Local control of cancer at two years post treatment
Response to preoperative chemoradiation
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Estimation of the proportion of the inoperable tumors which become operable after chemoradiation
Identification of factors that are associated with inoperability
Estimation of the overall survival and cumulative incidence of death due to disease at 2 years
