Popis: Hearing ability was examined in patients with head and neck cancer treated by combined CDDP and electron beam therapy. In 3 of 7 patients with maxillary cancer, hearing impairment apparently attributable to the therapy was noted on the affected side. In one of these 3 patients, the temporal bone was observed, but the cause of hearing impairment could not be determined. We present patients with cancer of the external ear in whom radiation-caused hearing impairment worsened probably due to combined CDDP and electron beam therapy.
