Successful Interstitial <scp>HDR</scp> Brachytherapy for Nasal Skin <scp>SCC</scp> in Xeroderma Pigmentosum: An Eight‐Year Follow‐Up Case Report
ABSTRACT High‐dose‐rate interstitial brachytherapy may provide durable local control with acceptable cosmetic outcomes in carefully selected patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. This long‐term follow‐up case questions the absolute contraindication of radiotherapy in XP and underscores the importance of individualized treatment planning based on underlying DNA repair mechanisms.
