title: Radiation therapy in cancer patients with psoriasis. The fractionated daily dose and the Koebner phenomenon.
abstract: Skin side effects following XRT take place more often in patients with skin disorders. In this study six patients with psoriatic lesions were evaluated. The total/daily XRT dose to the tumor site was 50-70/1.8-2.0 Gy. No debilitating effect of XRT was observed in both the psoriatic lesions and in the surrounding normal skin.
