Life after total skin electron irradiation; A perspective through the eyes of a radiation oncologist.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) remains a challenge as a disease from its diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. The rarity of the disease and uncharacteristic clinical manifestations pose difficulty in diagnosis, and the lack of treatment facilities adds to the management woes. Though the Stanford technique is the most accepted modality of total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT), the implementation details are still unstandardized. Different centers adopt different methodologies as per their convenience and suitability. We present a patient of MF with many dimensions of prediagnosis clinical features to the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up with subsequent developments over a period of 24 years that may help to understand the disease and management in a better manner.
