Some patients with no local surgery had nononcological WLE for diagnostic purposes prior to presentation to the tertiary center. Patients who were known to have radiation therapy at our facility. All patients in this series who were treated with postop radiotherapy were treated at another facility, and further treatment records regarding dose are not available.
