This study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy, adverse events, and feasibility of TPF-CCRT in treating advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal (EACSCC). The results showed that TPF-CCRT had good treatment outcomes for advanced EACSCC and should be considered as a feasible treatment option.
BackgroundSquamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal (EACSCC) is a rare condition. However, a standard treatment has not yet been established. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy, adverse events, and feasibility of TPF-CCRT (concomitant chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil) in patients with advanced EACSCC. MethodsThirty-five consecutive patients with advanced EACSCC (T3, T4) initially treated with TPF-CCRT at Kobe University Hospital were included. T4 diseases with invasion of the brain, internal carotid artery, or internal jugular vein were classified as T4b, and those without these features were classified as T4a. ResultsFive-year overall survival rates for T3 and T4 were 100% and 64.2%, respectively. A significant difference was observed between T4a and T4b (82.4% vs. 30%, p = 0.007). Five-year progression-free survival rates of T3, T4a, and T4b were 100%, 68%, and 20% (p = 0.022), respectively. ConclusionsTPF-CCRT should be considered as a plausible treatment option for advanced EACSCC.
