Surgery plus radiation for advanced sinus cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have adenoid cystic carcinoma of the sinuses that has spread to nearby tissues (T4 stage) but not to distant organs (unless you have a few small, stable spots in the lungs).
- You have not had any previous treatment for this cancer, like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
- Your doctors think the tumor can be completely removed with surgery.
- You are healthy enough for surgery and radiation, with good heart, liver, kidney, and blood cell function.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares surgery alone versus surgery followed by radiation therapy for a rare type of nasal or sinus cancer. It aims to see if adding radiation after surgery helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial tests two medications given before surgery for advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma in the nose or sinuses. The goal is to shrink the tumor and make surgery safer and more effective.
This trial tests whether combining the targeted drug becotatug vedotin with chemo can shrink recurrent adenoid cystic sinus tumors that can't be fully removed by surgery. It's for people whose tumors have a specific protein called EGFR.
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 trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and a targeted drug called tazemetostat for a rare type of nasal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial studies carbon ion radiation (a specific type of high-energy radiation) for people with head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma when surgery isn’t possible or was incomplete. It may help shrink or control the cancer while limiting side effects compared with other approaches.
