Abstract
Introduction
Treatment of inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) of the head and neck region is still debated.
Case report
We report an original case of cure of cSCC of the head and neck region with weekly hypofractionated radiation therapy with megavoltage electrons prescribed for locally advanced inoperable disease.
Results
Weekly hypofractionated radiotherapy assured complete regression and was well-tolerated.
Conclusion
The real efficacy of this treatment in the therapeutic arsenal remains to be defined. A clinical trial is ongoing to test the use of 8 weekly fractions of 8 Gy hypofractionated RT regimens in non-resectable cSCC cases.
