Details of the irradiation given to patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and normal controls (NC)
| NC/BCC | Number | Time (hours) | MED | Av. Mj/cm2 | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time, refers to the number of hours after UV irradiation at which the biopsy was taken; MED, the number of MEDs administered to the patient; Av.mj/cm2, the average of the doses of solar simulated radiation administered to a group of patients. | |||||
| The doses received by NCs and patients with BCC were compared using the Student’ t test and the p-values show there were no significant differences. | |||||
| NC | 3 | 4.5 | 3 | 860 | 0.399 |
| BCC | 2 | 4.5 | 3 | 720 | |
