Can Modern Radiotherapy be used for Extensive Skin Field #Cancerisation: An Update on Current Treatment Options by Lynda J Spelman in BJSTR


The use of #Radiotherapy (RT) for skin cancer by #dermatologists has decreased since the latter half of last century for many reasons. Driven by clinical need, radiation oncologists, radiation biologists and #physicists, have progressed RT in many ways over the course of the last fifty years. The creation of multidisciplinary meetings for clinicians involved in skin cancer has put the #specialisties of dermatology and radiation oncology in touch. With better modalities and techniques, is there a new role for RT in skin cancer?. A particular scenario is the treatment of Extensive Skin Field #Cancerisation (ESFC), where in situ disease can cause significant #symptoms and can lead to invasive disease. Current dermatologic and traditional radiation treatments have been disappointing, especially for large convex surfaces of sun-exposed areas such as scalps.
