Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery for Advanced Paranasal Sinus Cancer - Full Text View

Information provided by:	University of Tennessee
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00347256

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy pre-operatively in patients with advanced paranasal sinus cancer. The main objectives of this study are: 1) to measure the rate of complete response to preoperative chemoradiation and 2) to study the efficacy of combining preoperative chemoradiation and surgery in terms of local control of the cancer two years post treatment.

Further study details as provided by University of Tennessee:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Local control of cancer at two years post treatment
Response to preoperative chemoradiation

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Estimation of the proportion of the inoperable tumors which become operable after chemoradiation
Identification of factors that are associated with inoperability
Estimation of the overall survival and cumulative incidence of death due to disease at 2 years
Determination of the acute and long-term toxicity, particularly ophthalmologic complications, and surgical morbidity associated with this regimen
Measurement of the accuracy of conventional imaging techniques (CT, MRI) compared with the addition of PET imaging in predicting the response to chemoradiation therapy.
