| Popis: | Purpose We present a patient with recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCCA) who was treated with custom-made mold brachytherapy. Methods and Materials The patient was admitted to the hospital with the complaint of recurrent BCCA of the auditory canal. He has previously treated by surgery and external beam radiotherapy. We decided to continue with reirradiation to tumor bed after surgical excision. A total of 25 Gy to 5 mm depth of surgical bed was delivered by mold brachytherapy. Results The patient did well during the treatment without any acute toxicity. He was lost to followup after 2 years of treatment without any obvious late morbidity. Conclusion Custom-made mold brachytherapy is an alternative treatment modality, for reirradiation of selected group of patients, with minimal morbidity and good disease control. |
