Abstract

Radiation therapy (RT), for patients with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), achieve high LC rates and favourable toxicity profile. The AIRO Campania board presents retrospective data collection of NMSC patient treated with exclusive RT. Tumor response was defined according to RECIST criteria and toxicity according CTCAE v 0.5 scale. Local control (LC) was defined as stable disease, complete or partial response to treatment. A total of 263 patients treated from January 2019 to March 2022 were enrolled from eight Centres. The most frequently used fractionation (24%) was 40 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. At a median follow-up of 11 months, LC was achieved in 89% of patients. G3 toxicity rate was only 5%. The data reveal an effective collaboration in the creation of the first retrospective database of NMSC patients in Campania. We need to standardize following current guideline and as for follow-up data, clinical and radiologic response criteria.
