Summary

A new recumbent total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) technique offers a viable alternative to the conventional standing method. Dosimetric and clinical outcomes were similar, expanding TSEBT eligibility for more patients.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) is a crucial radiotherapy technique for widespread skin malignancies.
  • Conventional standing TSEBT may not be suitable for all patients, necessitating alternative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preliminary dosimetric and clinical outcomes of a novel recumbent TSEBT technique.
  • To compare the recumbent TSEBT technique with the conventional standing TSEBT method.

Main Methods:

  • A customized recumbent treatment platform was developed and commissioned.
  • Dosimetric data and clinical outcomes were collected for patients treated with both recumbent (n=13) and standing (n=14) TSEBT techniques.
  • Direct comparison of dose delivery and patient response between the two techniques.

Main Results:

  • No significant dose differences were observed at 10 of 15 body sites between recumbent and standing TSEBT.
  • Significant dose variations were noted at five sites, with higher doses generally observed with the standing technique (except the upper back).
  • Clinical response rates (complete response, partial response, stable disease) were comparable between the recumbent and standing cohorts (P=.78).

Conclusions:

  • A floor-based, recumbent TSEBT technique has been successfully developed and implemented.
  • This recumbent method expands TSEBT accessibility to patients previously ineligible for the standing technique.
  • Dosimetric and clinical data support the recumbent TSEBT technique as a feasible alternative to the conventional standing approach.
