“…As far as the body and the extremities are concerned, it has long been realized that X-ray treatment produces unpleasant scars [14], and the ulcers which may develop after treatment take rather a long time to heal. Because of the better vascularization, the skin of the face tolerates X-ray better, but the late effects are not much different from the disfiguring scars which devel op after X-ray treatment of basal cell carcinomas on the body or on the extremities.…”

The results of a follow-up study carried out in 1975–76 are described. The study involved 454 patients who had received ultrasoft X-ray treatment for basal cell carcinomas during the period 1965–1969. In females, the percentage of recurrence was 4.9, in males, 11.9. The figures indicating the frequency of recurrence are minimum ones; the patients were selected to a certain extent, the large tumors being treated surgically. The most important result of the study was the observation that approximately 30% of the X-ray scars examined were so disfiguring from a cosmetic point of view that they must be characterized as unacceptable. The indications for X-ray treatment of basal cell carcinomas should, consequently, be limited to deep-growing tumors or tumors which are not well demarcated, and to tumors in elderly patients, who should be spared surgery.
