BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the face and head and achieves cure rates of 92-96 %. Different fractionation concepts of radiotherapy have been described. This study investigates the efficacy, as well as...
BACKGROUND: We have used a schedule for soft x-ray therapy of epithelial malignancies that takes into account the clinically diagnosed tumor involution under treatment. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of this schedule in terms of cure rate and late...
PURPOSE: To determine the outcomes of patients with locally advanced basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin treated with radiotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A retrospective review of the outcomes of patients with basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas...
BACKGROUND: The histologic subtype of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may be an important factor for the success of a certain treatment modality. In the current article, the authors report recurrence rates among patients with BCC after superficial radiotherapy as well as...

PURPOSE: To retrospectively review patterns of failure, cosmesis, and outcomes according to treatment modality of patients with histologically confirmed epithelial skin cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The records of 468 patients having 531 lesions were analyzed; 389...
BCC is a slow-growing, locally invasive malignant epidermal skin tumour which mainly affects Caucasians. BCC tends to infiltrate tissues in a three-dimensional contiguous fashion through the irregular growth of sub-clinical anger-like outgrowths. Metastasis is...
BACKGROUND: Although radiotherapy of skin tumors has lost its former preeminence, there is still need for this modality. The aim of this study was, therefore, to determine the frequency of radiogenic ulcers and tumors following soft x-ray therapy of skin lesions....
