title: Clinical aspects of a rotational total skin electron irradiation.
abstract: A simple rotational total skin electron irradiation technique utilising a single large field electron beam is presented. Clinical and technical aspects of the technique are discussed and treatment results for the first 10 patients treated for widespread mycosis fungoides reported. The technique is simple and well tolerated by patients, and can easily be implemented in centres utilising electron beam radiotherapy.
