Abstract
Currently, incidence of skin cancer is growing both in Russia and other countries. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of this location. Morbidity growth is associated with aging population, as well as excessive insolation and sunburns, especially among white-skinned population. Locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma is rare, but its treatment is complicated.
The article presents a clinical observation of treatment of a female patient with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma on the face and multiple registered recurrences who received several courses of antitumor treatment. This case demonstrates high efficacy and good tolerability of 3D conformal radiation therapy in this pathology.
