Abstract
The eyelid is a frequent site for skin cancers of the face. Its location presents certain special problems in treatment from a cosmetic and functional standpoint. If untreated, a major deformity with possible loss of sight can result. This paper is a report of our treatment with irradiation of 157 primary tumors and 22 recurrent tumors. In 98 per cent of patients there was control of the tumor for more than five years and a good cosmetic and functional result.
