Abstract

Bowens’ disease is often described as an intraepithelial carcinoma. There are so many methods of treating the disease that in our reference out of 125 verified lesions, only 19 were treated with grenz rays. We conclude that alternate methods of therapy are the treatment methods of choice. Fifty-three percent of radiation oncologists would not treat Bowen’s disease according to the national survey.
