Our initial results INTRODUCTION: epidemiology NMSC: most common, incidence Solar UV radiation, skin type + 10 years 50% BCCs multiple BCCs Life-expectancy in Spain in 2030 Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) 75%; Squamous cell cancer (SCC) 20%.

3 INTRODUCTION: superficial Patch or thin plaque with erythema or partially pigmented Most frequent location: Trunk Younger patients than nodular type. Mean age 57 Extended width Multiple lesions INTRODUCTION: indications Surgery (Mohs or excision): most frequently offered treatment. The reported 5- year control rates for BCC is 92% (>98% 5-year cure rates with Mohs surgery). Cryotherapy, topical chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy and radiotherapy (RT) are other treatment options for NMSC. Chren NM McFarlane L INTRODUCTION: RT indications From Esteya White Paper.

With the expansion of HDR-BT, there has been a renewed interest in BT. Commercial applicators such as the Leipzig, and Valencia applicators, as well as flaps and moulds are available.
