Worldwide, non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has a high incidence. In 2020, Colombia, a Latin American country, had a NMSC incidence of 7.9 per 100.000 inhabitants. High Dose Rate (HDR) skin brachytherapy is a validated treatment option, with optimal and promising local control rates and cosmetic results, equivalent to surgical management and external radiation therapy. Nevertheless, this treatment technique may be scarce in Low Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), due to personnel training and technology requirements.
