Radiotherapy for early non-melanoma skin cancer.

Abstract

This article reviews the important role of radiotherapy in the management of early non-melanoma skin cancer, in the definitive and adjuvant settings. Therapeutic considerations and appropriate patient selection will be discussed, as well as evidence for efficacy and potential side-effects. Additionally, we present some recent advances which may improve accessibility and quality of radiotherapy, such as more convenient dose-fractionation, wide-field treatments, electronic brachytherapy and 3D printed bolus.
