My 95 year old mother has recently had surgery to remove a large squamous cell carcinoma from her scalp, and had a skin graft which has all healed well. 6 weeks on at the follow up appointment and after her case went before a multi disciplinary team, she was presented with the option of radiotherapy because the margin of healthy tissue left in situ was less than the desired amount and radiotherapy would minimise the risk of recurrence over the next couple of years.
