Presentation
The presentation is certainly a valuable contribution to the standing body of literature. [oncolink.org]
An overview of paranasal sinus cancer is presented, with particular emphasis on our experience with craniofacial resection for these tumors. © Williams & Wilkins 1998. All Rights Reserved. Related Articles [journals.lww.com]
Its presentation is similar to other sinonasal malignancies (SNM); nasal obstruction and epistaxis being the most common presenting symptoms. Most patients present in the fifth decade of life. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Ultimately, by the time most present with these cancers, the severity increases and the prognosis, or outlook, becomes more guarded. [ent.about.com]

Treatment Options by Stage For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section. [cancer.gov]
Prognosis
The earlier the cancer is treated, the better the prognosis. Prognosis also depends on histology. Survival is improving but remains generally poor. Overall, about 40% of people will have recurrent disease, and 5-year survival is about 60%. [msdmanuals.com]
The prognosis is poor, but appropriate measures can help the patient. Head and neck surgeons should note this unusual clinical entity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
