Overall Meta-analytical Comparison of US-SRT and XRT/SRT Outcomes in the Treatment of Basal Cell Cancer (BCC), Squamous Cell Cancer (SCC) and Squamous Cell Cancer in Situ (SCCIS). All Lesions Contrasts: Yu US-SRT v. XRT/SRT Studies Combined, Q [1] = 51.5, p < 0.0001. Moloney US-SRT vs. XRT/SRT Studies Combined, Q [1] = 79.3, p < 0.001. The displayed overall effect size for US-SRT contains correlated outcomes (i.e., shared patients in part across investigators). The common effect size for XRT/SRT outcomes contains independent outcomes with the rare exception of a few patients who present with more than one carcinoma type. Therefore, separate analyses are presented for the US-SRT investigators, Yu and Moloney, to maintain the assumption of within-analysis independence
