Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma involving the temporal bone is a rare but aggressive malignancy. Moderately differentiated SCC indicates that the cancer cells retain some features of normal squamous cells but have significant atypia and a higher potential for local invasion and spread.
Next Steps
Treatment Plan (Post-Surgery):
Radiological Evaluation:
MRI or PET-CT of the head, neck, and chest to rule out residual disease or metastasis
Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Review:
Essential to decide the next course of treatment, including oncology input
Adjuvant Therapy:
Radiotherapy is usually recommended post-operatively, especially for moderately to poorly differentiated SCC, close or involved margins, or perineural spread
Chemoradiotherapy may be considered in advanced or high-risk cases
Health Tips
Schedule a follow-up with your surgical and oncology team
Get MRI/PET-CT done as advised
Continue wound care and post-operative precautions as per ENT surgeon’s advice
