disease ethmoid-sinus-carcinomaEthmoid sinus Carcinoma is a type of nose cancer that is not always diagnosed because the disease is so rare — about 10 cases per million in the U.S — and the symptoms so similar to those of sinusitis, a sinus infection, or other illness. The disease has been linked to high levels of occupational exposure to wood dust — particularly hardwood. Workers who were frequently exposed to wood dust on the job should visit a medical professional immediately if they experience any symptoms including nosebleeds, nasal discharge, pain and numbness of the upper teeth, and more. Early detection and diagnosis of ethmoid sinus carcinoma can increase the rate of survival.

Sadly, however, many cases of ethmoid sinus carcinoma are diagnosed too late, resulting in a devastating prognosis for the patient and his/her loved ones.
