Not a worry. They'll just stick new ones on. They know exactly where to place them. It's just the entry point for the radiation beam. Protects the skin a little from burn.

Mine weren't entry points; just alignment dots. While always targeting the same spot inside you, the giant SBRT machine spins 360° around your torso and zigzags, so there's no single entry point with that type of radiotherapy (that helps avoid surface burns, since no one spot of skin gets much radiation).
