Genetic conditions\u00a0like neurofibromatosis. Repeated exposure to cold water\u00a0(e.g., surfers). Diagnosis &amp; Treatment Physical exams, hearing tests, biopsies, CT scans, or MRIs\u00a0help diagnose ear tumors. Benign tumors\u00a0may require monitoring, surgery, or radiation therapy. Cancerous tumors\u00a0are treated with\u00a0surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Prognosis Benign tumors\u00a0usually have a good outlook if treated. Ear cancer prognosis depends on type and stage, but early-stage melanoma has a\u00a099% five-year survival rate.
