What Are The Treatment Available For Ear Cancer?
I am caring for a 75 y/o lady with chronic left ear pain. She has been treated with antibiotics with no effect. She was taking narcotics for pain but with little effect only to the pain. It was later found out she has cancer on the area. Lately she was given with cipralex ear drops which she took for about two months on top of the narcotics. It seemed to provide better control of the pain symptoms. How does it work with the pain?

Cancer of the ear is painful and can have superimposed bacterial infection. The reason why the drops worked.
The best treatment option for her would be radiation therapy to the ear . it gives good local control and excellent pain relief.
The chance of cure can be estimated based on the disease status.
Meet a radiation oncologist at a cancer center.
