When do you recommend SRT, if ever, for small SCCs and BCCs?
SRT is a highly effective treatment for superficial radiation therapy. What is alarming is the use of daily US guidance for something we can visualize with our eyes. With electrons, I’ve never heard of anyone using image guidance. With SRT, the request for daily image guidance is routinely requested...
SRT is an acceptable treatment modality for small and thin basal cell carcinomas, such as superficial basal cell carcinomas or superficial basal cell carcinomas with an early nodular basal cell component. For high-risk basal cell carcinomas including thick nodular basal cell carcinomas and morpheafo...
When my patients need XRT, I send them to radiation oncology.
Image-guided SRT has been shown to be effective in treating low and high-risk subtypes of BCC: Appropriate Use Criteria for the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Using Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy

Those not really familiar with it would be surprised at what SRT can treat, how good the results are, and how happy these patients are. The BCC recurr...
