Introduction: considering the high incidence of non-melanomic skin cancer, where treatments with ionizing radiations are used, specifically with the SENSUS SRT-100TM equipment at Cancer Treatment Center of Pinar del Río, and given the need to effectively apply the benefits related to this practice, a retrospective observational study was conducted to discuss the use of aspects related to patients, lesions, administration and application of the treatment machine with a view to increase the benefits of this therapy.
Objective: to conduct a retrospective observational study with superficial radiotherapy treatment using SENSUS SRT-100TM equipment, showing the need for the use of the appropriate criteria in order to increase the quality of the service and its efficiency making good use of the resources.
Methods: the retrospective observational method was applied, with the target group of patients treated with superficial radiotherapy.
Results: 60.3% had received some previous treatment in at least one of their lesions. The 77.8% presented intermediate or high risk of recurrence of the disease and 65% of the schemes were within the recommended therapeutic window of Time-Dose-Fractionation Factors (TDFs). Machine utilization turned out to be low.
Conclusions: increasing the use of appropriate criteria and strengthening the training of specialties entrusted with these treatments could improve their quality and efficiency in the use of resources.
