[Treatment of skin cancer (based on data from Moscow Region cancer institutes)].
Observations over 3308 patients with skin cancer were conducted, 77.5% of them were in stage I, 19.7%--in stage II, 2.6%--in stage III and 0.2%--in stage IV. The incidence in males was twice as rare as in females. The dependence of skin cancer on sex was studied in 1645 patients. The majority of patients aged from 51 to 70 years. According to histological findings basalioma was observed in 75.9% and squamous-cell cancer--in 24.1%. Short-focal roentgenotherapy at voltage of 40--60 kw was employed in 94,3%, the combined therapy--in 4.5% and the associated one--in 1.2%. Doses from 5000 to 7000 r (79.5% of patients) were routinely used. The clinical cure was gained in 97.7%, the duration of radiation effect realization was 3--4 weeks in 60 percent of cases. The clinical cure was seldom observed in dosage under 4000 r. The results of 10-year observations indicated that among 2616 patients recurrences were noted in 63 (2.4%). Short-focal roentgenotherapy and the combined treatment seem to be the methods of choice intreatment for skin cancer.
