    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Malignant epitheliomas represent a group of cancers requiring diverse treatment strategies.
    • Radiotherapy is a cornerstone in cancer treatment, but its application as a last resort is less commonly documented.

    Observation:

    • This study examines seven exceptional cases of malignant epitheliomas.
    • These cases necessitated radiotherapy as a primary or eventual treatment of last resort.

    Findings:

    • Detailed clinical facts, histologic findings, and radiotherapeutic techniques were recorded for each case.
    • The outcomes of radiotherapy treatment in these challenging scenarios were analyzed.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the efficacy of radiotherapy in advanced or refractory malignant epitheliomas is crucial.
    • These findings may inform treatment protocols for rare oncological presentations where conventional therapies have failed.
