澳大利亚的角化细胞癌 (KC) 由于其高发病率和对许多病例进行多学科管理的要求，带来了独特的医疗保健挑战。放射治疗 (RT) 的进步增加了其在治疗不同角质形成细胞癌方面的应用。了解放疗的适应症以及全科医生 (GP) 在治疗途径中发挥的作用对于确保患者获得最佳治疗结果至关重要。本次综述探讨了放疗在角化细胞癌治疗中的功效、进展和治疗注意事项，以及放疗的作用治疗途径中的全科医生。在适当的情况下，放射治疗为现有角质形成细胞癌治疗中的手术提供了有效的替代方案或辅助剂。不断变化的 RT 格局要求全科医生充分了解情况，以便有效识别、转诊和管理病例。这包括了解 RT 进展、方案、治疗反应和管理患者期望。这一领域的继续教育对于全科医生了解放疗对其患者的适用性非常重要。

Keratinocyte cancer (KC) in Australia poses a unique healthcare challenge due to its high prevalence and the requirement for multidisciplinary management of many cases. Advances in radiation therapy (RT) have increased its use in treating different keratinocyte cancer presentations. Understanding the indications for RT and the role that general practitioners (GPs) play in the treatment pathway are imperative to ensure best patient outcomes.This review examined the efficacy, advances and treatment considerations of RT for the management of keratinocyte cancer, and role of the GP in the treatment pathway.Radiation therapy offers effective alternatives to, or adjuvants for, surgery in existing keratinocyte cancer treatments in appropriate cases. The evolving RT landscape necessitates GPs to be well informed for effective case identification, referral and management. This includes understanding RT advances, protocols, treatment reactions and managing patient expectations. Continuing education in this space is important for GPs to understand the suitability of RT for their patients.
