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...
In the published study, "Split Course Superficial Radiotherapy in Scrotal Extramammary Paget’s Disease Allows Course Completion With Minimal Side Effects: A Case Study" by Gerald B. Fogarty, et al., the Xstrahl 300 system was used to treat Paget's disease to a...
Skin cancer is an increasingly common condition, particularly keratinocytic cancers like basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery has been the standard treatment for these, but affects functional and/or cosmetic outcomes. Definitive...
While surgery is still the treatment of choice for cutaneous malignancy, newer technologies such as surface radiotherapy can provide an alternative for patients who with non-melanoma skin cancers. Learn more about radiotherapy in the clinic setting through the case...
Explore the case study below, which highlights how simple RADiant makes treatment of both squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma lesions in the dermatology clinic setting.
This study, Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Older Patients with Non-melanoma Skin Cancer: Less is Better, explores how our Xstrahl 300 system was used to successfully treat NMSC for 3 older patients. See the full study here, and more details below.
Orthovoltage X-rays, as offered by the Xstrahl 300, provides an excellent alternative to re-excision for incompletely resected or recurrent BCCs Surgery is the gold standard treatment for basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) but issues arise in the event of positive tumour...
Treating skin cancers with surgery is still the standard of care for most NMSC patients. However, surgery is not without potential downsides, especially for patients with other health issues. Surface radiotherapy, both Electronic Brachytherapy (EBT) and Superficial...
