Abstract
Clinical outcomes have been analyzed for 50 patients with malignant tumors in the external acoustic meatus (EAM) and the middle ear (ME). The patients have received combined therapy with pre- or postoperative radiation. Combined treatment for EAM and ME cancer is a method of choice which increases survival of patients and improves quality of their lives. In primary cancer of the ear preoperative radiation is preferable, while postoperative radiation is required in advanced disease, in moderately or poorly differentiated tumors when the risk of recurrence is especially high.
