No, a staph infection in the ear cannot directly lead to brain cancer. Staph infections are caused by bacteria and primarily result in localized infections, which can sometimes lead to complications such as abscesses or meningitis if they spread. However, cancer is caused by genetic mutations and other factors, not bacterial infections. If you have concerns about symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
