Abstract

Radiotherapy is a key component in the multidisciplinary treatment of skin cancers, used in definitive management of selected nonmelanomatous skin cancers and as an adjunct treatment in high-risk cases. Understanding the role of radiotherapy in nonmelanoma skin cancers is increasingly important as their incidence continues to rise. This article provides an overview of risk factors associated with nonmelanomatous skin cancers and the principles of both definitive and adjuvant radiotherapy.
