The efficacy of radiation therapy using the Quad Shot regimen in cutaneous metastasis from parotid gland cancer: A case report

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.
