Abstract
In the past, radiotherapy performed in the dermatologist’s office was the usual practice. With numerous alternatives available, this is no longer the case. In this chapter, we outline steps to reverse this trend. Administrative guidelines, indications for treatment and practical tips for treating non-melanoma skin cancer will be covered.
