Radiotherapy for non melanoma skin cancer

Radiotherapy planning means working out the amount (dose) of radiotherapy you need and exactly where you need it.

There are 2 main types of radiotherapy, external and internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy). The treatment you have will depend on where the skin cancer is and how big it is.

Superficial radiotherapy is a type of external radiotherapy. It treats cancer on or close to the skin surface.
