Middle Ear Carcinoma is a very rare cancer that begins in the middle part of the ear, which is located behind the eardrum. This area contains tiny bones that help in hearing. When a tumour grows in this region, it can affect both hearing and balance. Early on, middle ear cancer may be mistaken for common ear infections because the symptoms can look similar. This cancer is most often seen in older adults and may be hard to detect in its early stages.
Many sufferers of Middle Ear Carcinoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Middle Ear Carcinoma. We have recently created an Middle Ear Carcinoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
