Commissioning of Scalp-Sparing Rotational Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET)
Alopecia from rotational total skin electron therapy (TSET) poses severe psychological challenges for patients with special social needs. Depending on the location of the disease, some patients may be candidates for scalp-sparing TSET. We herein present the c...
