UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center

It can be a shock to learn that you have or may have cancer in your nasal cavity or sinuses. These rare head and neck cancers may only cause minor symptoms. Some may have just a chronic stuffy nose, headaches, or sinus infection-like symptoms. It is normal to have many questions when you are told you need to be tested or treated for cancer. 

The first thing you need is an expert team behind you. Nasal cavity and sinus cancers are rare and can be complex to treat. At UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, you’ll be cared for by a team of highly experienced clinicians, including head and neck cancer surgeons, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists. Together we will devise a personalized treatment plan based on your particular cancer diagnosis, while also taking into account your preferences. 

Our goal is to achieve complete remission of your cancer while maintaining your quality of life. Whenever possible, we use less-invasive approaches to treat nasal cavity and sinus cancers, such as endoscopic surgery that does not require any major incisions and precision radiation therapy that targets cancerous tissues while leaving healthy tissue alone. These approaches minimize side effects and speed recovery.
