This series introduces the clinical management of difficult-to-treat non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) through a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the integration of dermoscopy and Ultra high-frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly in cases referred for radiotherapy (RT). Dermoscopy aids in diagnosing both pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions, guiding treatment margins and reducing the benign-to-malignant biopsy ratio. UHFUS provides valuable insights into tumor size, depth, and vascularity, complementing clinical evaluations and assisting in RT planning. Three challenging cases are presented, highlighting the pivotal role of dermoscopy and UHFUS in decision-making and treatment optimization. Collaboration between dermatologists, radiation oncologists, and radiologists enhances diagnostic accuracy, tailoring treatment plans to individual patient needs and preferences, ultimately improving patient outcomes and experience. The integration of these imaging techniques holds promise for optimizing non-surgical treatments like RT and monitoring treatment progress, offering a personalized approach to NMSC management. |
