About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label Study on Low-Dose Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy in Mycosis Fungoides

The purpise of this study was to determine the effect of low-dose (4 Gy) total skin electron beam therapy as a second-line treatment of stage IB-II mycosis fungoides.

Read the detailed description

Current treatment modalities are usually not curative and having treatment options suitable for the long-term control therefore essential. Electron beam therapy is generally applied to the skin in total doses of 30-36 Gy over a 8-10 week period.Due to the potential risk of toxicity including bone marrow supression, no more than 2-3 courses in a life time are generally recommended. In the current study we explored the possibility of using lower radiation doses for total skin electron beam therapy for long-term disease control.
