ABSTRACT
Cutaneous basal or squamous cell carcinomas are frequent lesions, their prognosis being associated to local control. Surgery remains the standard of treatment, if a complete resection can be realized without impairment of cosmesis or function. Brachytherapy can be used in the other cases, and is especially well adapted to periorificial lesions of the face. It is mostly realized with low dose rate iridium wires, but can be done with high dose rate if outpatient treatment is preferred. It allows high local control rates with very few late complications. The indication has to be discussed as first line treatment, according to the patient's age and general condition, the characteristics of the lesion, and the risk of late cosmetic or functional side-effects of the different therapeutic options.
