Summary
Sinusitis is one of the most common sequelae after radiotherapy among nasopharyngeal
carcinoma patients. While local steroids have been shown to be effective in the management of
patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, their role in treating radiation-related sinusitis is
ambiguous. Poor adherence to nasal steroid spray often contributes to the failure of symptom
relief. The aim of this study is to determine if steroids stents implantation into the
sinuses could improve patient outcomes in radiation-related sinusitis.
