Study Overview

Brief Summary

Radiotherapy is a treatment considered standard for non melanoma skin cancer. This institution uses schemes of 4 to 6 weeks of treatment. The objective of the study is to perform radiation therapy in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size of the lesion.

Detailed Description

Delineation of radiation field

  • Gross tumor volume (GTV): disease clinically visible / palpable
  • clinical target volume (CTV): equal to GTV
  • planned treatment volume (PTV):
  • tumors ≤ 2 cm in diameter, with 5-10 mm CTV margin
  • tumors> 2-5 cm in diameter, with 15-20 mm CTV margin
  • Marking the GTV and PTV pen back projection
  • photograph of the treatment area
  • protections of the normal structures with blocks of lead, if necessary

Technical

  • Distance focus-skin Tube: 35 cm Locator: 30 and 40 cm
  • Sizes Tube: 2, 3 and 4 cm in diameter Finder: 6x8 cm, 8x10 cm
  • Energy:

80 kV 140 kv

  • Filter 80 kV, 2 mm Al 140 kv, 0.5 mm Copper
  • Current Draw: 20 mA

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of complete remission with hypofractionated RT schemes for NMSC.

Time Frame: Second week and twelfth week after initiation of radiotherapy

RECIST criteria * Complete Response: disappearance of the lesion * Partial Response: Reduction ≥ 30% of the larger initial diameter of the lesion * Progressive Disease: ≥ 20% increase in the largest initial diameter of the lesion * Stable disease: not increase enough to consider disease progression or reduction sufficient to consider a partial response.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Quality of Life(Second week and twelfth week after initiation of radiotherapy)
  • Toxicity(Second week and twelfth week after initiation of radiotherapy)
