Evaluation of mycosis fungoides management by total skin electron beam therapy with "translational technique".
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) with "translational technique" in the management of mycosis fungoides (MF). METHODS Between January 1995 and October 2014, 51 patients with MF were treated using TSEBT with translational technique. The total dose was 2800-3600 cGy, de-livered in 7 to 20 fractions. Out of the total 51 patient...

متن کاملRapidly progressive stage IVB mycosis fungoides treated with low-dose total skin electron beam therapy
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Normally, MF has an indolent course although patients can progress to an advanced disease state (stages IIB-IVB). Advanced-stage disease is typically aggressive, leaving patients with debilitating symptoms and a decreased quality of life. Moreover, advanced-stage MF often proves refractory to therapy and car...
متن کاملDose Measurements in the Treatment of Mycosis Fungoides with Total Skin Irradiation using a 4 MeV Electron Beam
The total skin irradiation (TSI) is one of the most efficient techniques in the treatment administered with curative intent of the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides). The cure may be obtained in 10% to 40% of the cases [13]. To irradiate all skin in an appropriate time of the machine, in most times, are used large electron fields with treatment distances about 3 meters. The original ...
متن کاملThe Stanford University experience with conventional-dose, total skin electron-beam therapy in the treatment of generalized patch or plaque (T2) and tumor (T3) mycosis fungoides.
OBJECTIVE To review the Stanford University experience with total skin electron-beam therapy (TSEBT) of 30 Gy or greater as monotherapy in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) and compare with subgroups receiving adjuvant nitrogen mustard (HN2), and further update our experience with repeated courses of TSEBT. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Academic referral center, multidisciplinary c...
