Brief Summary

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

This is a retrospective-prospective study design. Patients who completed treatment approximately 3 years (range of 2-4 years) at time of IRB approval of this study will be identified and any existing data in the patient's record will be collected in addition to conducting office visits for long-term follow-up.

Detailed Description

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

This is a retrospective-prospective study design. Patients who completed treatment approximately 3 years (range of 2-4 years) at time of IRB approval of this study will be identified and any existing data in the patient's record will be collected in addition to conducting office visits for long-term follow-up. The study will include 2 parts:

1. Retrospective chart review: Collect data from patient records who completed treatment a minimum of 2 years prior to study onset and determine the feasibility of doing a matched pair cohort study comparison of eBx versus Mohs surgery. The history, demographic and treatment data will be retrospectively collected from up to 320 subjects previously treated with eBx for the treatment of NMSC and up to 320 subjects previously treated with Mohs surgery for the treatment of NMSC.
2. Prospective Follow-up: Patients will return for long-term follow-up visits for the investigators to assess the lesion site, document absence of recurrence/ absence of recurrence, toxicities, and collect patient reported outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Electronic Brachytherapy

Procedure/Surgery: Electronic Brachytherapy:

Previously completed treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer using Xoft eBx Electronic Brachytherapy System. High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (EBT) provides a non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Electronic Brachytherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A group receives High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (EBT) which provides a non-surgical treatment option and the other group receives Mohs surgery. This matched-pair cohort study compared the outcomes of treatment with EBT to those of Mohs surgery in patients with NMSC.

Mohs Surgery

Previously completed treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer using Mohs Surgery:

Uniquely orients, maps, and processes removed tissue, permitting the microscopic evaluation of virtually 100% of the specimen margins. The completeness of this margin control permits the accurate identification and removal of all tumor extensions under the microscope. Tissues in Mohs surgery are processed as modified frozen sections which allow the accurate and rapid interpretation of most skin cancers.

Electronic Brachytherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A group receives High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (EBT) which provides a non-surgical treatment option and the other group receives Mohs surgery. This matched-pair cohort study compared the outcomes of treatment with EBT to those of Mohs surgery in patients with NMSC.
