ABSTRACT
Basal cell carcinomas and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas are among the most common cancerous tumors in the world. Their treatment is most often based on surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be indicated in case of risk factors for recurrence or as an alternative to surgery if surgery is not feasible due to the patient's advanced age and/or co-morbidities or as an alternative to potentially mutilating surgery. Radiotherapy is also part of the therapeutic arsenal for rarer skin tumors such as Merkel cell carcinoma, cutaneous lymphomas, Kaposi's disease and cutaneous adnexal carcinomas.
