Over the last decades, the evaluation and management of sinonasal and anterior skull base malignancies have evolved significantly as a result of advances in diagnostic imaging, surgical instrumentation and optical devices, newer endoscopic and open techniques, better understanding of the sinonasal and anterior skull base anatomy, and improvement in radiotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic, and targeted treatment of these lesions. In addition, emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach and closer collaboration between surgical teams have improved the ability to treat these lesions with less morbidity. In this symposium, recent progresses in our understanding of these lesions and their evaluation and management are discussed. This symposium will be valuable to the otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, radiation and medical oncologists, and allied healthcare workers involved in the care of patients with these complex malignancies.
1- To discuss and enhance understanding in the evaluation of patients with sinonasal and anterior skull base malignancies
2- To describe the different modalities available for treatment sinonasal and anterior skull base malignancies
3- To discuss different surgical options (open, endoscopic, combined) and selection of the appropriate surgical approaches in patients with these complex lesions
