Large sinus tumors can be removed endoscopically, study finds
5th Oct 2005, 19:37 GMT
Large tumors that block the sinuses can be removed endoscopically through the nose rather than through big incisions in the face, a new study finds. The endoscopic approach worked well not only to remove large inverted papillomas in 18 patients ages 36 to 74 but also to watch for regrowth of the tumors that have a high recurrence rate and a small chance of becoming cancer. Patients were treated as outpatients and 56 percent remained disease-free at 29 months.
