I'm a medical student interested in ENT. As I have limited knowledge of treatment (starting 2nd year), I was wondering if someone could clarify something for me. I was talking with a med onc and he had a patient with sinus cancer that instead of recommending surgery as recommended by the ENT, (pt on plavix and aspirin for stent placement 3 years ago), he started treatment with revlimid. Now, I am not a cocky med student that ever acts like I know more than others, but my understanding is that FDA approved this drug for multiple myleoma. Further, I thought that paranasal sinus cancers were not usually tx with med, rather surg or rad. I am really hoping someone will clear this up as I do not have contact with the med onc anymore (one time site visit) and I would rather not question an expert that was not very inviting to questions, but this is really bothering me.
Thank you very much in advance.
