Depth determination of skin cancers treated with superficial brachytherapy: ultrasound vs. histopathology.

CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, HFUS is less accurate at very shallow depths. Nodular cases present higher depth determination differences than superficial ones. In our clinical practice, we decided to prescribe at 3 mm depth when HFUS measurements give depth lesion values smaller than this value. PMID: 25834579 [PubMed]
