Radiotherapy is suitable for non-melanomatous skin cancers that are either high risk with local invasion or metastases, where surgery is inappropriate or if the patient has extended skin field cancerisation
This treatment modality has low recurrence rates and most of the acute reactions to radiotherapy resolve over six weeks. It is tolerable and highly effective
GPs should familiarise themselves with the types of lesions that should be referred; or if unsure, refer to a radiotherapy centre for an opinion



Host: Dr David Lim | Total time: 32 mins

Guest: Dr Monique Heinke, Radiation Oncologist; Clinical Fellow, Liverpool, Westmead and Nepean Hospitals; Medical Educator
