Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporal bone resection (TBR) with or without neck dissection (ND) is performed for otologic malignancies with occult or clinical cervical lymph node metastases. To date, characterization of post-operative complications in single institution case series may be non-representative of real-world outcomes. Here, we used data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to comprehensively assess the complications encountered, their frequencies, and to identify underlying risk factors to improve future outcomes. METHODS The population was patients undergoing TBR and ND derived from the NIS between the years of 2017 and 2019. We utilized ICD-10 diagnosis codes to identify patients with post-operative complications, those discharged to non-home facilities (DNHF), and those with increased length of stay (LOS). Multivariable regression was performed to identify significant variables related to the above outcomes. RESULTS Ninety of 277 patients that underwent LTBR with ND had postoperative complications. Wound complications were the most frequent complication, occurring in 11 (4%) of patients, followed by CSF leak (n = 6; 2.2%), with acute respiratory failure being the most common medical complication (n = 4; 1.4%). Sixteen percent (45/277) were discharged to a facility besides home. Dementia (OR = 7.96; CI95 3.62-17.48), anemia (OR = 2.39; CI95 1.15-4.99), congestive heart failure (OR = 5.31; CI95 1.82-15.45), COPD (OR = 3.70; CI95 1.35-10.16), and history of prior stroke (OR = 8.50; CI95 1.55-46.68) increased the odds of DNHF. When evaluating LOS (median = 5 days, IQR = 1, 9), anemia (OR = 5.49; CI95 2.86-10.52), and Medicaid insurance (OR = 3.07; CI95 1.06-10.52) were found to increase the LOS. CONCLUSIONS The vast majority of patients undergoing LTBR with ND have no complications and are discharged within a week. Liver disease is a risk factor for medical complications and increased charges. Patients with dementia or a prior stroke are at risk for DNHF, and those with prior anemia are at risk for a wound complication. LAY SUMMARY This study identified factors related to worse post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing temporal bone resection and neck dissection. Although safe for most patients, an existing diagnosis of liver disease, stroke, dementia, and anemia specifically are at risk for developing negative outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, and optimal treatment for advanced cases is uncertain. Our systematic literature review aimed to assess 5-year survival outcomes for advanced TBSCC across different treatment modalities. DATA SOURCES EMBASE, Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science. REVIEW METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for articles published between January 1989 and June 2023. RESULTS The review yielded 1229 citations of which 31 provided 5-year survival data for TBSCC. The final analysis included 1289 patients. T classification data was available for 1269 patients and overall stage for 1033 patients. Data for 5-year overall survival (OS) was 59.6%. Five-year OS was 81.9% for T1/2 and 47.5% for T3/4 (P < .0001). OS for T1/T2 cancers did not significantly differ between surgery and radiation (100% vs 81.3%, P = .103). For advanced-stage disease (T3/T4), there was no statistical difference in OS when comparing surgery with postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) (OS 50.0%) versus surgery with postoperative radiotherapy (XRT) (OS 53.3%) versus definitive CRT (OS 58.1%, P = .767-1.000). There was not enough data to assess the role of neoadjuvant CRT. CONCLUSION Most patients will present with advanced-stage disease, and nodal metastasis is seen in nearly 22% of patients. This study confirms the prognostic correlation of the current T classification system. Our results suggest that OS did not differ significantly between surgery and XRT for early stage disease, and combined treatment modalities yield similar 5-year OS for advanced cancers.

Abstract
Objective Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) is a rare malignancy with various treatment strategies and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes and identify prognostic factors in patients with SCC of EAC. Methods Twenty-one patients with SCC of EAC treated in a single tertiary center between 2009 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. The modified Pittsburgh classification system was applied for staging. Factors associated with survival were identified by univariate survival analysis. Results The mean age at diagnosis was 61 years (range: 41-79 years). Early-stage (T1 + T2) accounts for 38.1% of the series and advanced-stage (T3 + T4) accounts for 61.9%. Eighteen (85.7%) patients underwent primary surgery with curative intent. The 5-year overall survival rate of the 21 patients was 67.4%. Tumor invasion to the otic capsule, eustachian tube, sigmoid sinus, and dura were associated with poor prognosis in univariate analysis (p = .046; .008; .027; and .08, respectively). Conclusions Factors predictive of less favorable survival include the history of COM, tumor invasion to the otic capsule, eustachian tube, sigmoid sinus, and dura. It is important to make a precise and systemic preoperative evaluation of disease extent. Level of Evidence 4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in patients with the external auditory canal (EAC) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS All patients diagnosed with EAC SCC and treated with curative intent at a single tertiary institution were retrospectively reviewed over a 22-year period. Treatment modalities included surgery with adjuvant treatment or definitive radiotherapy. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). RESULTS There were 51 patients in our cohort. The 5-year OS and DSS were 64.0% ± 7.0% and 72.0% ± 7.0% respectively. Patients in the surgical arm and RT arm showed no significant difference in OS, DSS, and LRFS (p = 0.075, 0.062, 0.058 respectively). Compared to other routes of spread within the temporal bone, pattern of posterior disease invasion (involving mastoid/sigmoid sinus) showed poorer OS and DSS on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, HR4.34 and 5.88; p = 0.006 and 0.009). On multivariate analysis, the following factors were independently prognostic of poorer OS and DSS: Previous radiotherapy (HR 3.29 and 4.81, p = 0.021 and p = 0.029); Presence of facial nerve palsy (HR 3.80 and 7.63, p = 0.013 and p = 0.003); Posterior pattern of invasion (HR4.05 and 3.59, p = 0.013 and p = 0.043). Advanced modified Pittsburgh stage was not predictive of poor OS and DSS (HR1.17 and 1.17 E+5, p = 0.786 and p = 0.961). CONCLUSION Presence of previous radiotherapy, facial nerve palsy and posterior pattern of disease invasion were independent prognostic factors of poorer survival in patients with EAC SCC.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with external auditory canal (EAC) and temporal bone (TB) malignancy with dura invasion. Methods The medical records of patients with EAC and TB malignancy with dura invasion were retrospectively reviewed. Survival outcomes (overall survival [OS], disease-specific survival [DSS], recurrence-free survival [RFS], and distant metastasis-free survival [DMFS]) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of eight patients were included in this study. The median age at diagnosis was 49.5 years (range 12-74 years). The median follow-up periods were 46.5 months. Histologically, four out of eight patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 50%). The 2-year OS and DSS rates of all patients were 62.5%, and those of EAC SCC patients were 50% and 66.7%, respectively; while the 2-year RFS and DMFS rates of all patients were 37.5%. There was one local recurrence at the resection site (12.5%), two regional neck nodal recurrences (25%), and two distant metastases (25%). Dura resection and duroplasty areas were not involved in the local recurrence case. Conclusion In EAC and TB cancer with dura invasion, radical surgery with dura resection may show similar survival outcomes to previous studies without recurrence at the dura resection site.Level of evidence: IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is rare and often confers a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to synthesize survival and recurrence outcomes data reported in the literature for patients who underwent temporal bone resection (TBR) for curative management of TBSCC. We considered TBSCC listed as originating from multiple subsites, including the external ear, parotid, and external auditory canal (EAC), or nonspecifically from the temporal bone. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and manual search of bibliographies. REVIEW METHOD A systematic literature review conducted in December 2020 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS Survival data were collected from 51 retrospective studies, resulting in a pooled cohort of 501 patients with TBSCC. Compared to patients undergoing lateral TBR (LTBR), patients undergoing subtotal (SBTR) or total (TTBR) TBR exhibited significantly higher rates of stage IV disease (P < .001), positive surgical margins (P < .001), facial nerve involvement (P < .001), and recurrent disease (P < .001). A meta-analysis of 15 studies revealed a statistically significant 97% increase in mortality in patients who underwent STBR or TTBR. On multivariate analysis, recurrent disease was independently associated with worse overall survival (P < .001). On univariate analysis, facial nerve involvement was also associated with decreased overall survival (P < .001). CONCLUSION Recurrent disease was associated with risk of death in patients undergoing TBR. Larger prospective multi-institutional studies are needed to ascertain prognostic factors for a wider array of postoperative outcomes, including histology-specific survival and recurrence outcomes.

Abstract
Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma, which is rare in the clinical setting, is the most common type of temporal bone malignancy. Its rarity makes the staging, the way of temporal bone resection, the management of parotid gland and cervical lymph node, and the application of radiotherapy and chemotherapy still controversial.There is no unanimous consensus and guideline about it to date at home and abroad.This paper reviewed the recent advance in the diagnosis and treatment of temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma in the hope of providing some help and reference for the management of the disease.

Abstract
Objective Surgical indications for advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) are highly dependent on the skull base surgery team. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes in patients with SCC of the EAC and to clarify the surgical indication of far advanced cases using the T4 subclassification. Methods Patients with SCC of the EAC who underwent curative treatment from 2002 to 2021 at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and surgical results, including operative data, overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS), were analyzed. To clarify the surgical indication for advanced-stage tumors, we proposed the T4 subclassification. Results In the 46 patients included in the study, 8 patients had T1 tumors, 10 had T2 tumor, 5 had T3 tumors, and 23 had T4 tumors. The 5-year DSS with T1, T2, T3, and T4 tumors were 100, 85.7, 100, and 61.7%, respectively. No prognostic impacts for margin status were found between the 5-year OS and DSS ( p = 0.23 and 0.13, respectively). Patients with far-advanced-stage (T4b) tumors were significantly associated with shorter DSS than those with early-stage (T1/T2) and advanced-stage (T3/T4a) tumors ( p = 0.007 and 0.03, respectively). Conclusion The present study focused on patients with SCC of the EAC at a university hospital over a period of 20 years, especially with skull base involvement, and a T4 subclassification was proposed. Complete tumor resection in an en bloc fashion could help achieve a good survival rate even in patients with locally advanced tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to reveal the influence of the invasion site of external auditory canal (EAC) cancer by analyzing the outcome of patients with advanced tumor. METHODS A total of 111 patients with T4 EAC cancer were enrolled in this study. Of these patients, 79 underwent chemoradiotherapy and 32 underwent surgery under curative intent. Univariate and multivariate analyses and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to focus on the tumor invasion sites and overall survival of the patients. RESULTS The 3-year overall survival rate of all patients was 55.0%. In multivariate analysis, the only significant invasion site for overall survival was the facial nerve, with the dura mater being the next most influential site. When Kaplan-Meier survival curve was calculated, facial nerve and dura mater were the significant factors resulting in poor patient outcomes. CONCLUSION The facial nerve and dura mater are crucial sites of EAC cancer for patient outcomes.

Prognostic Impact of Tumor Extension in Patients With Advanced Temporal Bone Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Front Oncol 2020; 10:1229. [PMID: 32850367 PMCID: PMC7427636 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.01229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The extreme rarity of temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TB-SCC) has delayed the accumulation of high-quality clinical evidence. Our objective here was to explore anatomical factors associated with the prognosis of T4 TB-SCC cases. Study Design: Case series with chart review. Setting: Two academic tertiary care medical centers. Subjects and Methods: The medical records of all TB-SCC cases were retrospectively reviewed in two institutions. The resulting data set contained 30 cases of primary T4 cancer eligible for initial definitive (curative) treatment. Disease-specific survival was calculated according to the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify anatomical prognosis factors. Results: The disease-specific 5-years survival rate of 30 cases of T4 TB-SCC was 53.9%. The tumor invasion to the pterygoid muscle, posterior fossa dura, and sigmoid sinus and destruction of the ossicles were associated with poor prognosis in univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis reveals that the invasion of the ossicles, posterior fossa dura, and sigmoid sinus is an independent prognostic factor [hazard ratio (HR): 4.528 (95% CI: 1.161–17.658), p = 0.030; HR: 5.135 (95% CI: 1.616–16.315), p = 0.006; HR: 4.292 (95% CI: 1.385–13.303), p = 0.012]. The invasion of the carotid canal, petrous apex, middle fossa dura, otic capsule, pterygoid muscle, and middle ear had a high HR (HR > 2). The more invaded anatomical factors present in patients resulted in a poorer patient disease-specific prognosis, with a statistically significant difference. Conclusions: Assessing which anatomical structures are susceptible to invasion by tumors may be important for predicting TB-SCC patient prognosis and selecting appropriate treatment planning, especially surgical intervention. In addition to previously reported factors, the destruction of the ossicles in the middle ear cavity can be an anatomical prognosis factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The rarity of temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) precludes a clear understanding of the disease and approach to its management. This review provides general background on the disease and discusses the current and emerging oncologic and rehabilitative management options. DATA SOURCES PubMed literature review. METHODS A review of the current literature was conducted to assess and collate up-to-date information regarding TBSCC management. RESULTS TBSCC is a rare and aggressive disease arising in the ear canal, temporal bone, or extratemporal sites. Prior radiation, chronic ear disease, or habitual ear picking may contribute to primary disease development. Because the symptoms of TBSCC and benign otologic disease are similar, TBSCC diagnosis may be delayed, allowing the tumor time to spread throughout the anatomically intricate temporal bone. The extent of the disease is determined based on imaging and is usually staged with the Pittsburgh Staging System. Temporal bone resection with parotidectomy and neck dissection is the current standard of care. Survival is generally good for early disease and poor for advanced disease, but chemotherapy is emerging as a promising treatment option. Auditory rehabilitation with osseointegrated hearing aids is recommended at initial oncologic resection. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge of and outcomes for TBSCC have improved with time, but because of the aggressive nature of the disease and the anatomic intricacy of the temporal bone, TBSCC treatment is complex and should be delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Inter-institutional collaboration may accelerate research for this rare disease. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to clarify the impact of superficial parotidectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for the surgical treatment of early stage squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in external auditory canal (EAC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-seven patients with T1 (n = 14) or T2 (n = 19) SCC in EAC treated between 2000 and 2016 at Kobe University Hospital were enrolled in this study. Thirty-three patients were operated with sleeve resection or lateral temporal bone resection. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were 95% and 100%, respectively. Surgical margin was positive in 4 patients, who were treated by PORT and have been alive without disease. Prophylactic superficial parotidectomy was simultaneously performed at the time of initial surgery in 15 patients, in whom no lymph node (LN) metastasis was observed. Among the other 22 patients, regional recurrence in parotid LN was observed in one patient, who was successfully salvaged by total parotidectomy. Potential parotid lymph node metastasis rates of T1 and T2 SCC in EAC was 0% (0/14) and 5% (1/19) respectively. CONCLUSIONS Complete resection without positive surgical margins is essential for the treatment of the patients with T1 and T2 ear cancers. Prophylactic superficial parotidectomy or neck dissection is not mandatory for T1 and T2 diseases, as long as precisely extent of disease is assessed preoperatively. PORT should be performed for the patients with positive surgical margins. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE 4.

Cetuximab with radiotherapy as an alternative treatment for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the temporal bone. Auris Nasus Larynx 2017; 45:637-639. [PMID: 28867454 DOI: 10.1016/j.anl.2017.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2017] [Revised: 07/19/2017] [Accepted: 08/09/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The prognosis of advanced temporal bone cancer is poor, because complete surgical resection is difficult to achieve. Chemoradiotherapy is one of the available curative treatment options; however, its systemic effects on the patient restrict the use of this treatment. A 69-year-old female (who needed peritoneal dialysis) presented at our clinic with T4 left external auditory canal cancer and was treated with cetuximab plus radiotherapy (RT). The primary lesion showed complete response. The patient is currently alive with no evidence of disease two years after completion of the treatment and does not show any late toxicity. This is the first advanced temporal bone cancer patient treated with RT plus cetuximab. Cetuximab plus RT might be a treatment alternative for patients with advanced temporal bone cancer.
