A total of 1166 tumors of the eyelids were treated by single or fractionated exposures to doses of 20-60 Gy [gray]. The 5 yr tumor control rate was 95% for basal cell and 93.3% for squamous cell carcinoma. Irradiation was equally successful in primary cases and in those recurrent following surgery. Recurrence following irradiation was managed by surgery or further irradiation. The cosmetic and functional results were generally excellent and readily accepted by most patients. The overall complication rate was 9.6% with fewer than 1/2 rated as serious; these problems mainly occurred with large tumors that had destroyed normal tissues. In only 14 (1.2%) patients was death related to the tumor. Approximately 1/2 of the patients received a dose of 35 Gy in 5 daily fractions, 1/4, 20-22.5 Gy in a single exposure and the others with larger tumors 42.5-60 Gy in 10-30 exposures in 2-6 wk. Radiotherapy is a safe and cost effective treatment for eyelid tumors.
