AM2019 PAN10 Definitive and Postoperative Radiation Therapy for Basal and Squamous Cell Cancers of the Skin

This panel will focus on the guideline recommendations and videntiary base for radiation treatment of basal and squamous cell cancers of the skin. The multidisciplinary panel includes representation from the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society of Dermatopathology, and the Society of Surgical Oncology.
