The patient will undergo quality of life assessment and skin imaging (ultrasonography and reflectance confocal microscopy). Brachytherapy will be performed over six outpatient visits over 2-3 weeks, on non-consecutive days. Patients will then be followed for 5 years. Reflectance confocal microscopy is optional for the participating sites.

Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy

Quality of life assessment

Christopher Barker, MD

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of electronic skin surface brachytherapy (ESSB) for early stage basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin using a new device. This new device is Nucletron's Esteya Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy System. The investigators want to understand what effects, good and/or bad this device for delivering brachytherapy has on your skin cancer. The investigators also want to assess the safety, cosmetic results, the effects that ESSB has on quality of life and to correlate skin imaging with clinical response to ESSB.

Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy for Cutaneous Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

A Multicenter Pilot Study of Electronic Skin Surface Brachytherapy for Cutaneous Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Efficacy will be measured by local control of the irradiated BCC/SCC three years after brachytherapy.

Cosmetic outcome will be patient-reported and clinician-assessed after brachytherapy.

(grade 1-4 adverse events). The study will use the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 for assessing toxicity related to brachytherapy.

Patient reported health-related quality of life outcomes will be assessed using the Skindex-16 (Appendix A) and the Skin Cancer Index (Appendix B).
