Radiation therapy specialists use radiation to treat these types of skin cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The decision to use radiation therapy depends on factors such as cancer type, location, size, and depth of the lesion.
Side effects for this type of treatment could include:
- Changes in pigmentation
- Fatigue
- Skin reactions (redness, irritation)
