For Doctors
There is a body of evidence supporting the role of SXRT in the management of non-melanoma skin cancer. The first publication in treating skin cancer with SXRT was published in 1902, proving the effective eradiation of a ‘rodent ulcer’ in the facial skin of a patient.
With the development of megavoltage therapy and linear accelerators and with surgery becoming the standard of care in managing non-melanoma skin cancers, the use of SXRT has diminished over time.
Over the past decade, SXRT has undergone a renaissance in the management of inoperable skin cancer. Technically all skin cancers are operable, but surgery is not always the best treatment option.
With SXRT offering comparative results to surgery, SXRT should be part of the informed consent discussion for every non-melanoma skin cancer.
Our results attest to the efficacy of SXRT in the management of non-melanoma skin cancer. We offer selected in-house resources and references on the benefits of SXRT in the management of non-melanoma skin cancer.

What is Superficial X-ray Therapy?
When it comes to radiotherapy there is plenty of room for miscommunication and misunderstanding. Not all radiation is the same, and not all applications of radiation are suited to skin cancer. To avoid confusion, here are five things to consider.
