[Extensive ulcerated basalioma. Irradiation with ionizing radiation after electrocautery debridement]
1Universitäts-Hautklinik, Fakultät für Klinische Medizin Mannheim, Universität Heidelberg.
Abstract:
Soft X-Ray (Dermopan) is an effective and gentle treatment for large basal cell carcinomas of the face. It is an useful alternative to extensive and often cosmetically unsatisfactory surgery, especially in large basal cell carcinomas covering an area of more than 4 cm2. A 79-year-old man presented with a 4,5-year history of an extensive basal cell carcinoma on the right temple, which was treated by soft x-ray after removal of excessive tumor tissue with electrocautery. A total dosage of 48 Gy was employed.

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

01:22Burn Injuries
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
