This report concerns 368 patients who developed cancer in facial or neck skin who had previously been irradiated for benign conditions. The biologic effects of ionizing radiation on skin are reviewed and the hazards of even moderate dosage for benign dermatoses are emphasized. More than two thirds...
Response to: Radiation Oncology Viewpoint: Wide‐field radiation therapy for skin cancerisation—Have we forgotten what we learned? and we encourage all ROs involved in skin cancer to be involved, particularly, given the dearth of Australian data on this, our national cancer.doi... G Fogarty,...

The relationship between the most fatal skin cancer, i.e. malignant melanoma and solar UV exposure is, however, still unclear and needs to be clarified to optimise preventive measures and minimise mortality from skin cancers. Introduction Sunlight carries the fundamental energy for life on earth by...
Versatile– IGSRT can be used on virtually any area of the body. It is well-suited to treatment of skin cancers on the head and neck (including ears, nose, eyelids, and lips) to avoid risk of scarring associated with surgical skin cancer removal. ...
Skin Cancer HDR Brachytherapy can be an effective form of skin cancer treatment especially when the cancer would not be completely removed through surgery, when the cancer surgery would cause too much scarring, or where surgery was too difficult to perform. ...
The purpose of this report is to examine and review the available data on the effectiveness of sunscreens in the prevention of nonmelanoma skin cancers in man. The association of skin cancer and sunlight was first reported by P.G. Unna when he noted an increase in the incidence of cutaneous...
Historically, we've made the bricks tiny—so if it's over six weeks, five days a week, it's about 30 treatments. We could also make the bricks bigger and get the treatment done faster. The problem for skin cancer is we don't know how big we can make the bricks and still deliver...
Changes in Ig production are sensitive to IR and have implications for opportunistic infections as well as cancer patients with comorbid autoim- mune disorders (Andrlikova et al. 1975). Effect of radiation delivery on the immune response The effect of IR on inflammation and the immune ...
Ionizing radiation has been the subject of intense epidemiological investigation. Studies have demonstrated that exposure to moderate-to-high levels can cause most forms of cancer, leukaemia and cancers of the breast, lung and thyroid being particularly
