Popis: Radiotherapy is an available but not well-known treatment for management of basal cell carcinoma. National organizations have established that standard therapy is complete surgical removal and radiation therapy is an option for inoperable tumors or those where the post-operative defect would be cosmetically disfiguring or functionally disabling. These therapeutic options, with histological sample, should be considered in the multidisciplinary management of patients with basal cell carcinoma. There are several types of radiotherapy: external radiation or interstitial brachytherapy, unfortunately, there is no consensus in the literature and the range of radiation regimens in common use is large. Very few randomized studies have been conducted to defi the optimum treatment in terms of recurrence rate, cosmetic outcome and side-eff In most of studies, the overall local control rate was between 80-100% and over 90% of patients reported good or excellent cosmetic outcome. Side-eff of radiotherapy most commonly reported are minor but in young patients one must be alert to the theoretical possibility of the induction of secondary malignancies.
