Abstract
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy worldwide and regularly presents in the head and neck region. As a result, dental professionals are in a key position to identify suspected cases and provide an onward referral. The specialist management of these patients requires a team approach. Although surgery is the mainstay of treatment, radiotherapy may be employed as a definitive or adjuvant treatment modality. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology, presentation and management of non-melanoma skin cancer as well as the interdisciplinary work between the restorative consultant and radiotherapy department to provide an innovative custom-made radiotherapy bolus. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To raise awareness of the presentation and management of non-melanoma skin cancer and the role of the restorative dentist within the multidisciplinary team.
