Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis from malignant tumors can cause symptoms such as exudates, bleeding, and pain, which remarkably reduce patient's quality of life. Herein, we report a case in which radiation therapy using the Quad Shot regimen was effective in the treatment of cutaneous metastasis from parotid gland cancer.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
