External beam radiotherapy of extramammary Paget disease.

Abstract

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an insidious intraepithelial neoplasm that is difficult to control with surgery, as large resections typically are required. An effective alternative is external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), which typically results in rapid resolution of EMPD. In this study, we analyzed long-term outcomes in 7 patients who were treated with EBRT for EMPD.
