Use of radiation therapy or x-ray therapy for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas in Gorlin Syndrome can lead to the development of thousands of basal cell carcinomas in the radiation field (Strong 1977; Evans, Birch et al 1991) and is therefore not recommended, unless under special/exceptional circumstances.
