Electron beam therapy of mycosis fungoides. 1979

J Blasko, and L Becker, and T W Griffin, and D Y Tong, and M Groudine

Sixteen patients with mycosis fungoides were treated with a 3.3 MeV skin electron beam to a dose of 30 Gy over 40 days. Nine patients achieved a complete remission which was generally short. Only two patients remained free of disease one year following treatment. All patients received palliative benefit from treatment, but no significant increase in survival can be anticipated.
