Research Question:
How well does chemotherapy before surgery and radiation therapy works compared to
surgery and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with nasal and paranasal
sinus cancer that can be removed by surgery?
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy before surgery and radiation
therapy works compared to surgery and radiation therapy alone in treating patients
with nasal and paranasal sinus cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin, and carboplatin work in different ways
to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from
dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays
to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy before surgery and radiation
therapy may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs
to be removed and treated with radiation.
