Electron beam therapy in squamous and basal cell carcinoma of the face
AbstractAbstract
[en] This work is a retrospective study of 86 patients with squamous cell (51) and basal cell (35) carcinoma of the face. The median age was 67 years. The staging is as following: 31 cases T1 and T2, 55 patients T3 and T4. All patients were considered NO. Electron beam was used in all cases and energy ranged from 5 to 15 MeV depending on the thickness of the tumor. The total tumor dose was 60-70 Gy delivered in 6 weeks. In 7 cases of very old patients the authors have used concentrated irradiation: 3 patients received 21 Gy in one fraction and 4 patients 48 Gy in 8 fractions. 96.8% patients T1 i T2 are NED contrary to 56.4% T3 i T4. Cosmetic results were considered as good in 52, fairly good in 7 and bad in 2 patients
