Australas Radiol. 1997 Feb;41(1):20-1. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1673.1997.tb00462.x.

Abstract

Superficial extensive basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck region can be difficult to treat because of the large area of skin involved, and the changing contour of the head and neck region. A patient with basal cell carcinoma involving the upper chest and neck treated with mould radiotherapy is presented.
