ABSTRACT: Objectives
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) often invades the orbit. Treatment of sinonasal cancer invading orbit can vary depending on the medical center and the extent of the invasion. The definitive treatment strategy, whether it involves preserving the orbit or not, varies on a case-by-case basis and leads to different outcomes. Currently, a multimodal treatment approach, which includes surgery, chemotherapy (CTx), radiotherapy (RT), or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), is frequently employed for sinonasal cancers. This study aims to evaluate the prognosis of sinonasal SqCC with orbit invasion in various perspectives.Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of patients with primary sinonasal SqCC invading the orbit who were treated at between 2009 and 2018. We examined factors such as the extent of tumor, orbit invasion, treatment strategies, recurrence rates, and survival rates.Results
Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates did not significantly differ based on the grade of orbit invasion. When tumor resection with orbit preservation was performed as definitive treatment, DFS was significantly longer compared to cases where surgery was not the definitive treatment (RT, CCRT). There was no significant difference in DFS between those who underwent orbit exenteration and those who underwent tumor resection with orbit preservation as the definitive treatment.Conclusion
Tumor resection with orbit preservation as the definitive treatment appears to be the preferred approach, leading to prolonged DFS while ensuring survival in cases of SqCC with orbit invasion.

<h4>Objectives</h4>Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) often invades the orbit. The treatment approach for sinonasal cancer that has spread to the orbit varies across medical centers and depends on the extent of the invasion.
