A Comprehensive Update on Intestinal- and Non-Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinomas.

This review of sinonasal adenocarcinoma, both intestinal and non-intestinal type, aims at providing a comprehensive overview of etiological factors, diagnostic workup, histological subtypes, advances in molecular characterization and the genetic basis, current optimal treatment strategies, resulting oncological outcome, and prognostic factors modifying the final treatment results. The current treatment of choice remains surgical resection with a curative intent, using the least invasive approach that allows for removal of the entire tumor with negative margins, supplemented with postoperative high-quality intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the majority of patients. To date, chemotherapy remains reserved for the palliative setting. The progress in understanding the underlying molecular biological mechanisms has not yet translated into standard of care applications.
