How are malignant ear tumors treated?

Dermatologists (doctors who specialize in skin diseases) treat skin cancer on the outer ear. Treatment for cancerous ear tumors depends on the cancer type and location. Treatment might include:

• Mohs surgery to remove the cancerous skin cells.
• Radiation therapy, radiosurgery or chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells.
• Treatment for ceruminous adenoma tumor involves surgically removing the tumor. Your surgeon might also remove nearby lymph nodes.
