Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Context:

  • Grenz rays (ultrasoft X-rays) have a long history in treating benign skin disorders.
  • Previous research on their mechanism, efficacy, and carcinogenicity is limited and outdated.
  • Recent investigations provide new insights into their clinical and basic properties.

Purpose:

  • To consolidate current knowledge on grenz ray therapy for benign dermatoses.
  • To review the mechanism of action, clinical outcomes, and safety profile of grenz rays.
  • To update understanding based on recent clinical and experimental findings.

Summary:

  • Grenz ray therapy demonstrates efficacy in treating conditions such as scalp psoriasis.
  • Treatment leads to a decrease in epidermal Langerhans' cells and can suppress nickel allergy.
