Revisiting Radiotherapy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Clinical Outcomes, Safety, and Optimization Strategies: A Systematic Review

: Radiotherapy, particularly when combined with 3D printing technology, presents a promising treatment option for patients with severe or refractory HS. Customizable boluses and applicators enhance the precision of radiotherapy by conforming to irregular skin surfaces, thereby improving dose conformity and reducing side effects. Despite the positive results, further research is needed to assess the long-term safety and clinical feasibility of this approach. The integration of 3D printing in radiotherapy could significantly improve treatment outcomes, offering a more personalized and effective therapeutic option for HS patients.

Abstract

: Radiotherapy, particularly when combined with 3D printing technology, presents a promising treatment option for patients with severe or refractory HS. Customizable boluses and applicators enhance the precision of radiotherapy by conforming to irregular skin surfaces, thereby improving dose conformity and reducing side effects. Despite the positive results, further research is needed to assess the long-term safety and clinical feasibility of this approach. The integration of 3D printing in radiotherapy could significantly improve treatment outcomes, offering a more personalized and effective therapeutic option for HS patients.
