Dear Patient An ear drum rupture/perforation requires a simple Surgery called Tympanoplasty (with or without mastoidectomy). Having said that please do no confuse it with cancer. It is not at all related to any kind of cancer problem, please do not worry and visit a nearby ENT specialist to get yourself an accurate diagnosis and treatment
Next Steps

Health Tips
Avoid inserting anything in your ear like ear buds etc and avoid entry of water in your ear
