TLDR
When compared with surgery alone, combined therapy with postoperative irradiation did improve local control in patients with completely resected lesions but did not demonstrate a corresponding increase in five-year survival.Abstract:
• In a review of 136 patients with squamous cell, basal cell, and salivary gland cancers involving the external auditory canal and temporal bone, the majority of patients had received prior treatment and came to us with recurrent tumor. Squamous cell carcinoma of the concha and cartilaginous ear canal behaved aggressively. Five-year survival in 35 patients with deep temporal bone involvement was 29%. The major reason for failure in this group was incomplete resection of disease. Postoperative irradiation was of no benefit when the cancer could not be completely excised. When compared with surgery alone, combined therapy with postoperative irradiation did improve local control in patients with completely resected lesions but did not demonstrate a corresponding increase in five-year survival.

Staging proposal for external auditory meatus carcinoma based on preoperative clinical examination and computed tomography findings.
TL;DR: A TNM staging system for external auditory meatus carcinoma is proposed utilizing preoperative computed tomography and physical examination and fulfills the requirements of the American Joint Committee on Cancer that a staging system should provide a sound basis for therapeutic planning for cancer patients by describing the survival and resultant treatment of different patient groups in comparable form.

Efficacy of Surgical Treatments for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Temporal Bone: A Literature Review
TL;DR: A review of ail publications dealing with surgical treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the temporal bone found no randomized or nonrandomized control studies were identified and several inferences are suggested by the available evidence.

TL;DR: The tumor-free surgical margin was important to survival when T4 lesions did not involve the pyramidal apex, carotid canal, dura, or any lymph nodes, and the surgical intervention improved the estimated survival rate to a level as good as T3 lesions.

P. M. Stell,M. S. McCormick +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a staging system is suggested for carcinomas of the external and middle ear, based on a personal series of 47 patients, and statistical analysis showed that the proposed system was a valid method of identifying significant predictor factors.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the temporal bone.
TL;DR: To study the survival outcomes of patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the temporal bone, the University of Pittsburgh staging system was evaluated as a predictor of survival.

Temporal Bone Resection: Review of 100 Cases
TL;DR: With hypotensive agents, high-speed air drills, and adequate coverage of the defect, the death rate was reduced from 10% in 1954 to 5% in recent years and the overall five-year cure rate was 27%, with a 25% cure rate for squamous carcinoma.

TL;DR: A division of the cancerous tumors into three groups adds some clarity to the management and facilitates statistical analysis.

Cancer of the middle ear.
TL;DR: The middle ear thus displays a significant immunity against malignant neoplasia, which tends to creat the attitude that a condition so infrequent need rarely be thought of during observation of pathologic processes of the middle ear.
