Recurrent basal cell carcinoma treated with radiation therapy

Late side‐effects with cosmetic relevance following soft X‐ray therapy of cutaneous neoplasias

“…Despite the cosmetic changes reported here, we agree with published opinion 5,7–35,39 that radiotherapy is a useful treatment modality for cutaneous malignancies.…”

Basal cell carcinoma of the lip treated with radiotherapy

“…In the setting of recurrent BCC in high‐risk areas, radiotherapy has been reported to confer 5‐year local control rates of 96% for lesions < 1 cm and 81% for lesions > 1 cm 27 . These figures are comparable to other re‐treatment modalities such as surgery, and provide a treatment alternative when re‐excision is not functionally or cosmetically feasible.…”

Superficial high-dose-rate brachytherapy for primary tumors and relapses after surgery in patients with basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck region: results of a retrospective comparative cohort study

“…However, the location of tumor in the H&N region may also affect the results of ionizing radiation treatment, as shown by Wilder et al . in their study with 61 BCC recurrences after previous surgery, curettage-electrodesiccation, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of these methods [ 27 ]. In the presented group, the tumors were diverse, and 70.5% of them occurred in the H&N region.…”
