Superficial radiotherapy tied to complete remission in severe Hailey-Hailey disease
The high success rate could lead to the therapy being made first-line for refractory cases, researchers say
Superficial radiotherapy could lead to long-term remission and improved quality of life in patients with severe, treatment-resistant Hailey-Hailey disease, a small Danish study suggests.
Pending further trials, radiation therapy could be a viable alternative to standard treatment for flares, such as antibiotics, isotretinoin and naltrexone, researchers say.
