Survival Outcomes in Sinonasal Mucosal Melanoma: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Sinonasal mucosal melanomas (SNMMs) are rare and aggressive malignancies with poor survival outcomes. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate overall survival (OS) rates in patients with SNMM; Methods: We conducted a systematic search, following PRISMA guidelines across PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), and citation searching for studies reporting survival and prognosis outcomes for SNMMs. Inclusion criteria included studies with 5-year OS rates. Studies were excluded if they included tumor sites other than the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity, were published in languages other than English and Spanish, or had a sample size of fewer than 15 patients. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed study quality us
