Radiation for inverted papilloma
I have nasal polyps since 2011 , right side. It's recurring inverted papilloma. Several times surgery done. In 2021 medial maxillectomy, in 2023 partial maxillectomy done in Paras . Recurred again.
Consulted ENT , advised to consult Onco surgeon.
Onco surgeon advised to go for extensive surgery and Radiation therapy post operative.
Consulted Radiation oncologist Medanta , he also advised to go for Radiation therapy.
I don't know should I go for Radiation or not . No idea about recurrence after radiation.
Kindly suggest and help 🙏🙏.
Hello.
Inverted papillomas have high chances of recurrence. Also 5 to 15 % can be cancerous.
We need to see previous reports and present scan to advice.
Radiation is given for cancerous papilloma ,also in advanced recurrent papillomas.
Consult a good ENT surgeon
Take care
