Of the 303 patients with head and neck cancer who visited our clinic from 1979 to 1991, 14 had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the maxillary sinus and 14 had SCC of the maxillary gingiva, hard palate or maxillary intraosseous SCC.<BR>Though most of the patients with maxillary sinus SCC bore advanced tumors such as T3 or T4 (UICC, 1987), we found metastasis in the cervical lymph nodes at the first visit in only one out of 14 patients, which was of significantly lower frequency than in patients with SCC of the maxillary gingiva, hard palate or maxillary intraosseous SCC. Most of the patients with maxillary sinus SCC was treated in combination with surgery, intraarterial chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Half of them (7/14) are living without tumors, and we calculated the 5-year survival rate to be 52.1% according to the Kaplan-Meier method. W e have been treating the patients with maxillary sinus SCC in combination with intraarterial chemotherapy with Cisplatin or Carboplatin before surgery, fractional radiotherapy of 20 Gy and radical resection since 1987 and have obtained relatively good results with these patients.
