Is it appropriate to use electrons to treat a fibrosarcomatous DFSP of the face s/p R1 WLE?
Assuming the patient is to get adjuvant RT for an R1 resection on the face, would you treat using electrons? Adequate depth would require at least 9MeV.
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
If the geometry of the target volume is conducive to electrons, it is reasonable to consider. I might also consider use of a custom compensator such as: https://dotdecimal.com/products-proton-electron-or-photon-therapies/electrons-electron-treatment/bolusect-bolus-electron-conformal-therapy/
