Carcinomas of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses

Scope

The dataset has been developed for the reporting of resection and biopsy specimens of mucosal malignancies originating in the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses. Malignancies at the border of skull base are included. Neuroendocrine neoplasms are also included.

Melanomas, lymphomas, sarcomas, olfactory neuroblastoma and haematolymphoid tumours are not included. Bone and soft tissue tumours are dealt with in separate ICCR datasets.

Neck dissections and nodal excisions are dealt with in a separate ICCR dataset, and this dataset should be used in conjunction, where applicable.

This dataset is intended for use for primary cancer resections. For resections of recurrent disease, the reporting guide may be used pragmatically although some data elements may be not applicable nor assessable.
