Abstract
A translational technique, adapting an established MEL SL75/10 linear acclerator, which gives a satisfactory physical and clinical 3 MeV whole-body electron treatment in mycosis fungoides, is described. Tolerance of the patients was excellent and 16 of 21 achieved satisfactory disease remission. In spite of delivering significant skin doses it was possible to re-treat 2 relapsing patients without complications and with clinical success.
