Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to record recurrence in patients treated for nonmelanoma (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) skin cancer using the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System. Additional objectives include evaluate the appearance of the treated area in patients treated for nonmelanoma skin cancer using the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System and record the occurrence of radiation therapy related skin changes in patients treated for nonmelanoma skin cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to record local recurrence in patients treated for nonmelanoma (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) skin cancer using the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System. Additional objectives include evaluate the cosmetic outcomes in patients treated for nonmelanoma skin cancer using the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System and record the occurrence of radiation therapy related skin toxicities in patients treated for nonmelanoma skin cancer using the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System.

Non-melanoma skin cancer

Early stage squamous or basal cell carcinoma

electronic brachytherapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

Post market observational study recording data form patients with skin cancer treated with electronic brachytherapy. Treatment is standard of care, and can vary in dose and fractionation schedule from patient to patient depending on radiation oncologist's judgement for best treatment for the patient.
