Radiotherapy for Mycosis Fungoides: Review of the Literature

“…The application of TSEBT warrants special expertise and infrastructure which may be mostly available in well-equipped large-scale hospitals. Reported results indicate that TSEBT is an efficacious and tolerable management modality for MF [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…There are encouraging results with lower doses of TSEBT, however, prospective randomized studies are needed to further refine dose-fractionation schedules with direct comparison of different regimens [6,[19][20][21][22][23]27].…”

“…MF is considered to be highly radiosensitive, and encouraging treatment results have been achieved with even low doses of radiation [19][20][21][22][23].…”
