abstract: Owing to their physical characteristics, electron beams are a crucial component in radiotherapy of human tumors. Besides their main indications (skin cancers, head and neck tumors, breast, chest wall recurrence, low pelvic tumors) other types and sites of malignancies are to be considered: skin lymphomas, soft tissue sarcomas, Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS patients, as well as Intra Operative Radiotherapy.
