Treatment
Each plan was independently optimized using either Corvus inverse treatment planning system, commissioned for a Varian 2300 CD linear accelerator with 1cm multileaf collimator (MLC) leaves, or the HT inverse treatment planning system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. [vicc.org]

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]
Etiology
The bilateral nasal fractures are the clue to a traumatic etiology. Looking at the CT scan on the far left you will notice a convex soft tissue mass in the frontal sinus. [radiologyassistant.nl]
