Rotational total skin electron irradiation with a linear accelerator
The rotational total skin electron irradiation (RTSEI) technique at our institution has undergone several developments over the past few years. Replacement of the formerly used linear accelerator has prompted many modifications to the previous technique. With the current technique, the patient is treated with a single large field while standing on a rotating platform, at a source-to-surface dis...
متن کاملTotal skin electron irradiation techniques: a review
Total skin electron irradiation (TSEI) has been employed as one of the methods of mycosis fungoides treatment since the mid-twentieth century. In order to improve the effects and limit the complications following radiotherapy, a number of varieties of the TSEI method, frequently differing in the implementation mode have been developed. The paper provides a systematic review of the different var...
متن کاملFabrication of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in total body photon irradiation and total skin electron irradiation studies
Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...
متن کاملCD30+ Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma: Response to Rotational Total Skin Electron Irradiation
INTRODUCTION Rotational total skin electron irradiation (RTSEI) is an effective therapy for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). CD30 expression has been identified as a prognostic factor in CTCL. Therefore, we investigated CD30 status, treatment response, and survival in our cohort of patients with CTCL treated with RTSEI. METHODS Patients with CTCL treated with RTSEI (≥30 Gy) between 2000 and ...
متن کاملTotal skin electron therapy: a modified technique for small room linear accelerator.
OBJECTIVE Development of a technique for treating whole-body skin using linear accelerator with electron beam energy of 6-MeV at a short treatment distance. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 6 MeV high dose rate total skin electron irradiation mode on a linear accelerator was used. Beam profiles and percentage depth doses in the patient plane were measured for different beam angulations. RESULTS At ...
