Ten cases of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in albinos, treated by radiotherapy from 1973 to 1979 at the Muhimbili Medical Center of Dar-es-Salaam, have been reviewed. Age, sex, duration of symptoms, anatomic distribution, stage of disease, and treatment are reviewed. The relationship between albinism, sunlight, and skin cancer is discussed and a practical program of prevention is suggested. Advanced carcinoma of skin in albinos may be managed successfully with judicious radiation therapy. Excellent objective responses have been noted. No assessment of long-term control is made due to poor follow-up of patients.
回顾了1973年至1979年在达累斯萨拉姆的穆希姆比利医疗中心接受放射治疗的10例白化病患者晚期皮肤鳞状细胞癌病例。对患者的年龄、性别、症状持续时间、解剖分布、疾病分期和治疗情况进行了回顾。讨论了白化病、阳光与皮肤癌之间的关系,并提出了一个切实可行的预防方案。对白化病患者的晚期皮肤癌进行明智的放射治疗可以成功处理。已观察到良好的客观反应。由于对患者的随访不佳,未进行长期控制评估。
