Abstract:
The experience related to 1170 patients treated with electron beam between 1979-1988 at Radiation Therapy Department in Pisa is reported. Beam dosimetry and dose distribution in tissue, patients contour and other parameters have been analysed as main important factors to optimise this technique. Electron beam therapy offers important contributions to the management of peculiar types of cancer because of the radiotherapy treatments optimisation and the reduced normal tissue reactions.
