A Population-Based Analysis of Treatment, Survival, and Demographics in Otologic Malignancies

Introduction: Otologic (external ear, middle and temporal bone) malignancies are relatively uncommon tumors. Their location adjacent to vital structures such as the carotid artery, jugular vein, otic capsule, lobe makes treatment potentially challenging. Objective: The purpose of this study was examine overall survival outcomes in patients with otologic obtained via a population-based cancer database. Methods: A search Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database used identify treated for external bone from 1973-2018. Demographic data were compiled analyzed using Kaplan-Meier logistic regression analysis. Results: SEER identified 9317 malignancies. Multivariate analysis showed that age, race, sex, subsite, histopathological type, stage, T, N, M type significantly affected survival. Conclusion: This examined on demographics, treatment, utilizing Overall stage stages, patient all appear impact Patients surgery part their regimen appeared have higher 5-year than nonsurgically.
