The authors summarized data from a group of physicians with experience using high-dose rate electronic brachytherapy for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer. The data have been published or presented in abstract format at national dermatology and radiation oncology meetings. The data included 1,822 treated lesions from 2009 to 2014 in patients ranging in age from 52 to 104 years. Most lesions were basal cell carcinoma (57%) or squamous cell carcinoma (38%) less than 2cm in size (97%). Median follow-up at the various centers ranged from 4 to 16 months, and results yielded an extremely low recurrence rate of less than one percent. Results show that within the confines of this follow up period, electronic brachytherapy is an effective, convenient, nonsurgical treatment option for patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer with few recurrences and excellent cosmetic results.
作者总结了一组有使用高剂量率电子近距离放射疗法治疗非黑色素瘤皮肤癌经验的医生的数据。这些数据已在全国皮肤病学和放射肿瘤学会议上以摘要形式发表或展示。数据包括2009年至2014年期间对年龄在52岁至104岁之间的患者治疗的1822个病灶。大多数病灶为基底细胞癌（57%）或鳞状细胞癌（38%），大小小于2厘米（97%）。各中心的中位随访时间为4至16个月，结果显示复发率极低，不到1%。结果表明，在该随访期范围内，电子近距离放射疗法是治疗非黑色素瘤皮肤癌患者的一种有效、便捷的非手术治疗选择，复发率低且美容效果极佳。
