QUAD SHOT - an effective hypofractionated palliative radiotherapy in patients with non-melanoma skin cancer. A single-institution experience.

Introduction: The primary approach for managing skin cancer involves surgery, although radical radiotherapy (RT) may be considered as an alternative option in cases where patients decline the treatment themselves or are not eligible for surgical intervention. Herein we assess single-institution material in terms of the use of hypofractionated QUAD SHOT RT in patients disqualified from surgery.

Material And Methods: Between December 2019 and December 2022, nine patients with locally advanced non-melanoma skin cancer were disqualified from surgery and as a result were treated at the Radom Oncology Centre, Poland.
