Dosimetric comparison of 4 MeV and 6 MeV electron beams for total skin irradiation
- 1. Dept. of Radiation Oncology, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Total skin electron irradiation (TSEI) was developed by Stanford University in the 1950s and introduced for the treatment of mycosis fungoides, the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma which generally affects the skin. In this study, dosimetric aspects of TSEI consisting of a 4 MeV beam with no spoiler were investigated in comparison to a nominal 6 MeV beam applications was evaluated. The suggested 4 MeV beam for TSEI could be applied to shallow depth skin diseases and to electron boost as second treatment course
