Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The first masses were found in 2008, at the same time they were surgically removed. There has been a progression of the process since 2019 - multiple masses on the scalp and trunk. There was another visit to doctors. After verification of diagnosis radiation therapy was received. However, soon after the treatment, the appearance of new and growth of existing foci has been noted. A multistage PDT with good clinical and cosmetic effect was carried out at Medical Centre Hospital of President’s Affairs Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
