Abstract

Prognosis of ethmoidal cancer depends on staging and local control. Use of radiotherapy is still under debate, but most authors recommend a radio-surgical procedure as first line treatment. Results and indications of exclusive irradiation or combined treatment are presented, and the interest of CT and immobilizing shell in treatment planning is discussed.
