Abstract

Purpose

This is the first study to quantify the 2-year freedom from recurrence for individuals with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and squamous carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) treated with image guided superficial radiation therapy (IGSRT) versus SRT without image guidance.

Methods and Materials

This retrospective cohort study evaluates the 2-year freedom recurrence rate of NMSCs treated by IGSRT (March 2016 to January 2022) and compares it to existing data on NMSCs treated by SRT via 1 sample proportion tests. Individuals >18 years old with biopsy-proven SCC, SCCIS, and/or BCC treated with IGSRT were included in the study, and 1602 patients/2880 treated lesions were followed until January 14, 2022. SRT literature was identified through an Ovid Medline search.

Results

All NMSCs treated by IGSRT in this cohort had an aggregate 2-year freedom from recurrence of 99.23%. The recurrence rate for BCC (N = 1382) was 1.1%, for SCC (N = 904) 0.8%, and for SCCIS (N = 594) 0.0%. These recurrence rates are significantly improved compared with a pooled study that evaluated NMSCs across histology and BCCs alone treated without image guidance (standard SRT) (P < .001).

Conclusions

IGSRT offers a paradigm-shifting treatment option for patients with NMSCs – offering statistically significantly improved outcomes compared with standard SRT and a more desirable toxicity profile to surgical options. This study demonstrates that IGSRT is associated with remarkably low recurrence rates, which are statistically significantly improved from the previous generation of SRT and in line with modern outcomes for Mohs micrographic surgery.

期刊介绍： The purpose of Advances is to provide information for clinicians who use radiation therapy by publishing: Clinical trial reports and reanalyses. Basic science original reports. Manuscripts examining health services research, comparative and cost effectiveness research, and systematic reviews. Case reports documenting unusual problems and solutions. High quality multi and single institutional series, as well as other novel retrospective hypothesis generating series. Timely critical reviews on important topics in radiation oncology, such as side effects. Articles reporting the natural history of disease and patterns of failure, particularly as they relate to treatment volume delineation. Articles on safety and quality in radiation therapy. Essays on clinical experience. Articles on practice transformation in radiation oncology, in particular: Aspects of health policy that may impact the future practice of radiation oncology. How information technology, such as data analytics and systems innovations, will change radiation oncology practice. Articles on imaging as they relate to radiation therapy treatment.
