  • Title: Electron beam therapy of primary tumors of the skin.
    Author: Reisner K, Haase W.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1990 Oct; 80(4 Suppl 1):114-5. PubMed ID: 2251397.
    Abstract:
    High energy electrons have, in comparison with 50-100 kV X rays, definitive advantages in treating large, thick or deeply infiltrating skin cancers. Moreover, a skillful therapeutic policy (fractionation, use of acrylic absorbers, shrinking field technique) often leads to excellent late results, with none or only insignificant side effects especially on bone and cartilage.
