Non-melanoma skin cancer treated with high-dose-rate brachytherapy: a review of literature.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on the review data, we can conclude that the treatment of NMSC with HDR-BT is effective with excellent and good cosmetics results, even in elderly patients. The hypofractionated course appears effective with very good local disease control. More data with large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of brachytherapy. PMID: 28115960 [PubMed - in process]
