EUSICA/COST IMMUNO-model workshop fostering collaboration to advance sinonasal cancer research: A meeting report.

ABSTRACT

Sinonasal cancer is a clinically and histologically heterogeneous group of rare tumors with generally poor clinical outcomes. Their low incidence hampers the advancement of clinical management as well as translational research, and calls for multicenter and multinational collaboration between physicians and researchers. This report describes the proceedings of a two-day conference organized by the European Network for Sinonasal Cancer Research (EUSICA) and COST Action 'IMMUNO-model', fostering such collaboration and focusing on preclinical tumor and immuno models, surgical and radio-oncological treatments, core facilities for genetic characterization and molecular tumor classification, and cancer registry.
