Radiotherapy, by its mechanism, has always been suspected to be contra-indicated in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum, depriving them of this very effective modality in the treatment of their cancers. As these suspicions have still not been confirmed, the place of radiotherapy should be reconsidered, while applying precautionary principles.

A 59-year-old male with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the left preauricular region, treated with several chemotherapy regimens and radiation therapy, was admitted for recurrent syncopal episodes. He was found to be suffering from neurocardiogenic reflex-mediated syncope secondary to mechanical compression of the carotid baroreceptors and glossopharyngeal nerve by the tumor. We discuss the pathophysiology of this case and the available treatment options.
