Abstract
The reported incidence of skin cancer in India is 1% of all the cancers. Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer begins in the basal cell with in the skin a type of cell that produces new skin cells as old one die. Majority of skin cancer either basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma is as common as squamous cell carcinoma of skin but lymph node involvement in basal cell carcinoma is rare .Henceforth main stay of treatment of BCC remains as local treatment. There are five variety of BCC like, Nodular, Nodular ulcerative (commonly head and neck site), Rodent ulcer, Pigmented type, superficial type pigmented variety closely mimic melanoma of skin cancer. The existing literature on BCC in India is scant, so in this case study we were intended about the radiotherapy techniques for BCC in order to give full dose of radiation and to find result out of that very techniques.
Keywords: BCC, Radiotherapy.
