Background: Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) may represent a new treatment option for individuals with auditory canal or middle ear cancer.Methods: Study participants with pathologically proven ear cancer were treated with SRT (35 Gy for 3 fractions or 40 Gy for 5 fractions) as first-line therapy. When local tumor recurrence developed following SRT, subtotal temporal bone resection and postoperative chemoradiotherapy were performed as salvage treatment. Boluses were used for the initial 14 study patients.Results: Twenty-nine study participants were enrolled and staged with T1 (n = 3), T2 (n = 7), T3 (n = 14), or T4 disease (n = 5). Three-year overall survival rates were 69% for T1/2 disease, 79% for T3 disease, and 0% for T4 disease. Three-year local control rates were 70% for T1/2 disease, 50% for T3 disease, and 20% for T4 disease. Grade 2 or higher dermatitis or soft-tissue necrosis occurred more frequently in study patients treated with boluses (8/14 vs 2/15; P = .02). Salvage treatment was safely performed for 12 recurrent cases.Conclusions: These results suggest that SRT outcomes are promising for patients with ear cancer (
