How common is ear canal cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: Cancer of ear canal is vanishing rare. Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk , nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs.
