Weekly total skin electron beam therapy for mycosis fungoides and other cutaneous lymphomata: further experience.
Lymphomatous processes involving the skin can be managed effectively by total skin electron beam irradiation. A technique using weekly doses (400 rad for each of 6 successive weeks) has been employed in the therapy of 36 patients. Complete remission was obtained in all patients so treated. The median first disease-free interval for lymphoma cutis was 11 months and for mycosis fungoides 9 1/2 months
