Oncologic outcomes in primary squamous cell carcinoma of the auricle: a retrospective cohort analysis

ConclusionsOur findings suggest that auricular location may not be a significant risk factor for cSCC staging systems. In the absence of other risk factors, unimodal therapy appears adequate for patients with primary, stage I –II auricular cSCC. The prognostic significance of pT3 auricular cSCC stage due to depth of invasion alone should be evaluated further.
