Evaluating the prognostic contributions of TNM classifications and building novel staging schemes for middle ear squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract Background A universally acknowledged cancer staging system considering all aspects of the T‐, N‐, and M‐classifications for middle ear squamous cell carcinoma (MESCC) remains absent, limiting the clinical management of MESCC patients. Materials and Methods A total of 214 MESCC patients wer...
