TO THE ENGLISH EDITION Ionizing radiation has played an important
role in the treatment of skin diseases for many decades. With
strict adherence to modern standards of radiation protection,
radiotherapy is a safe and effective method that benefits many
patients who cannot be treated adequately by other means. Although
indications for dermatologic radiotherapy have decreased
significantly due to advances in other therapeutic modalities, many
dermatologists feel strongly that ionizing radiation is an integral
part of dermatologic therapy that should not be relinquished to
other specialties because of the highly specialized anatomic,
pathologic, and technologic knowledge required. A recent survey of
the National Program for Dermatology showed that 44% of 2,444
responding dermatologists use radiotherapy regularly for various
skin conditions, particularly in the treatment of cutaneous
carcinomas. Significantly, the American Board of Dermatology has
decided to continue its requirement of special knowledge in
dermatologic radiation therapy for board certification. Because I
have taught this dermatologic subspecialty at various levels, both
in Europe and in the United States, I readily agreed to accept Pro
fessor Braun-Falco's invitation to cooperate with him and Dr.
Lukacs in the preparation of the English edition of this new guide.
The text deals mostly with modern concepts of dermatologic
radiotherapy and empha sizes practical aspects of treatment.
Although it is written as an introduc tion for young
dermatologists, it may also be useful to experienced clinicians who
want to keep up with recent developments in this field."
