Mutations of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene can affect cancer development and cause large hamartomatous skin change in sun-exposed areas. Radiotherapy has reportedly caused increased acute toxicity for this with PTEN variants, however, this case...
It can be difficult to treat non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) of the lower legs. The blood supply of the lower legs makes surgery challenging, and radiotherapy below the knee is controversial because of the fear of radiation-induced ulcers. In the study, "Lesion-based...
Hear from our CEO, Adrian Treverton, about treating non-melanoma skin cancer patients safely during COVID. Patients most likely to develop basal or squamous cell carcinoma are those in the age range at greater risk of serious illness from COVID, so safe and short...
One common question dermatologists often ask about incorporating radiation therapy into their practice is “How much involvement do I need from a radiation oncologist?” Regulations concerning physician supervision, reimbursement, and radiation shielding can vary quite...
