Mucosal melanoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses, a contemporary experience from the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center

Abstract

Tumor stage according to sinonasal AJCC staging system is an effective outcome predictor and should be the staging system of choice. Postoperative radiation therapy improves locoregional control when a higher dose and standard fractionations are used. Histological features such as pigmentation and pseudopapillary architecture are associated with worse outcome.
