Surgery alone vs surgery plus radiation for nasal cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatment approaches for a specific type of nasal and sinus cancer (adenoid cystic carcinoma) after surgery. Eligible patients have already had surgery with clear margins and will be randomly assigned to either observe closely or receive additional radiation therapy to see which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 75 years old
- Diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma (a specific type of nasal or sinus cancer) confirmed by biopsy
- Already had surgery to completely remove the tumor with clear margins (no cancer cells at the edges)
- Cancer is stage T1, T2, or T3 with no spread to lymph nodes or distant organs
- Good overall health (able to carry out normal daily activities with minimal limitations)
- Recent blood work shows healthy bone marrow, liver, and kidney function

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called epirubicin for sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with advanced-stage disease.
This study looks at whether surgery followed by radiation helps people with a specific type of sinus cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma that has grown into nearby tissues. It aims to see how well this treatment works and how safe it is.
This trial tests two cancer drugs (anlotinib and epirubicin) given before surgery to shrink advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma tumors in the sinuses. The goal is to make surgery safer and more effective for tumors that have grown into nearby structures like the skull base or eye socket.
This trial compares giving chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) versus after surgery (adjuvant) for patients whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned locally. It aims to find which approach works better to control the cancer.
This trial tests a treatment plan of chemotherapy, radiation, and then surgery for adults with rhabdomyosarcoma in the nose or sinus cavities. It aims to see if this sequence helps control the cancer.
This trial compares two treatments for stage I nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nasal cancer). It tests whether a minimally invasive surgery (endoscopic surgery) is as good as or better than radiation therapy. It may be an option for people whose cancer is small and hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
