Abstract

Interpretation of surgical mapping is essential for postoperative radiotherapy planning. Operative and pathological reports lack comprehensive information on margins quality and tissue block mapping. Standardizing reports is essential to reduce uncertainties, aiming for less morbid poRT.

Keywords: endoscopic endonasal surgery; margins; radiotherapy; sinonasal tumors; surgical mapping.
