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
