Abstract
A patient with a cutaneous lymphoma was treated on the same day for 2 distinct tumors using a 15 Gy single electron dose given in a dose rate of 0.08 Gy/second versus 166 Gy/second. Comparing the two treatments, there was no difference for acute reactions, late effects at 2 years and tumor control.
