Radiation therapy in the management of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.

摘要: The lesions of mycosis fungoides (MF), a neoplasm T lymphocytes, are extremely radiosensitive. history ionizing radiation in the treatment MF is discussed this paper. Low-energy X-rays have long been successful individual and effective palliation patients with disease. major breakthrough came development ability to treat total skin by means electrons which penetrate depths only 1--2 cm, thereby treating epidermis dermis while sparing more deeply situated tissues. complications results therapy reviewed. aggressive use electron-beam has resulted many long-term remissions. It important high initial doses when they still early stages potential other modalities radiation, including total-lymphoid megavoltage photons, low-dose fractionated total-body sequential hemibody
