What Are the Treatment Options for Cancer-Related Ear Infections?
The treatment for ear infections caused by cancer depends on the type and stage of the cancer. Treatment options may include:
- Surgery: Removing the tumor can alleviate the blockage of the Eustachian tube and help resolve the ear infections. - Radiation Therapy: This treatment uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. - Chemotherapy: Anti-cancer drugs can be used to shrink tumors and reduce symptoms. - Targeted Therapy: Drugs that specifically target cancer cells without affecting normal cells may be used for certain types of cancer.
