“…3,31 High cure rates can be achieved; one study showed a recurrence rate of 2% (one out of 52) over 4 years, 65 while another study reported a recurrence rate of 10% (eight of 83) after a follow-up of 2 years. 66 These smaller studies have shown recurrence rates similar or superior to excision. In a prospective but nonrandomized trial of curettage and cautery (44 lesions) compared with cryotherapy (36 lesions) involving 67 patients, curettage was preferable in terms of pain, healing and recurrence rate 62 ; 74% of lesions were on the lower leg.…”

“…In special cases where a previous cautious histological diagnosis has been made, grenzray therapy can present an advantage in terms of X-ray sparing and it can provide better cosmetic results for example in local izations such as the eyelids or the periungual area [15]. In general, soft-X-rays with a HVD from 3.0 to 7.0 mm are used [2, 8, I 1, 13-15, 17], Since the depth of the tumour can pos sibly reach at least 3.0 mm (in hairfollicles), the more penetrating X-rays mean better security.…”

“…The radiosensitivity of Bowen's dis ease has been reported to be higher than that of erythroplasia of Queyrat [2,13,17], Orig inally, the type of radiation selected was con tact therapy after Chaoul [11] and occasion ally grenz-ray therapy [11,15] or beta-ray therapy with strontium-90 [16], Ultimately, the dermatological radiotherapists in gener al favor soft-X-ray therapy [2,II,13,14,17]. Particularly suitable indications for ra diotherapy arc: large lesions, localization on eyelids, fingers or toes, periungual or perigenital areas [15,17],…”
