Study of treatment for sinus and skull-base tumors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors manage tumors that start in the nose/sinuses and spread to the skull base. It may help improve planning of care for people with this specific type and location of tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have cancer in your nose/sinuses (sinonasal) and/or the skull base area
- Your disease is spreading into the skull base from the nose/sinus area
- A doctor has explained the tumor location and pattern matches this study’s target areas
- You are able and willing to sign a written consent form to join

This study looks at the results of removing skull base lesions using a minimally invasive technique through the nose. It aims to see how safe and effective this approach is for treating tumors at the base of the skull.
This study looks at how symptoms and everyday functioning change for people with cancers of the nose/sinuses, the throat behind the nose (nasopharynx), or nearby skull-base areas. It may help doctors understand what survivors experience and improve long-term care.
This study aims to learn more about skull base tumors by examining tumor tissue from surgery. It may help doctors better understand these tumors and improve future care.
This study follows people who have sinonasal cancer and are being treated at Mayo Clinic. It looks at how patients do over time, which may help improve care for future patients.
This study tracks patients with a bone infection at the base of the skull, called skull base osteomyelitis. It aims to better understand the condition and improve care.
This trial tests whether doctors can safely remove tumors in the sinuses and nasal passages using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery (a thin camera and instruments passed through the nose) rather than open surgery. If your tumor is in a difficult location, this approach might mean less pain and faster recovery.
