Sumario:Because of its rarity, no standard therapy exists for localized squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. Interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) is reported to be a preferable treatment modality of choice for early-stage localized nasal vestibule cancer. In this report, a nasal vestibule cancer with hard palate invasion (T3) was treated by definitive radiation therapy. Because it was considered to be difficult to cover the entire target volume only by ISBT, a hybrid of intracavitary (dental mold-based) and ISBT was applied to the patient following external beam radiation therapy.
