Factors associated with survival and recurrence of temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma: a single-center clinical study

Preoperative facial paralysis and facial nerve invasion indicate a high risk of recurrence, while dural invasion is a strong predictor of relapse. In TBSCC, advanced MPB-T stage and sigmoid sinus/mastoid process invasion correlate with poor prognosis. Precise assessment of tumor subsite and invasion extent is critical in clinical management.
