摘要

Mycosis fungoides is a cutaneous lymphoma that accounts for 2-3% of all lymphomas. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of TSEBT (Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy) in patients with mycosis fungoides. It is important to develop this technique and make it available to a larger number of patients in Mexico. Because large fields for electron TSEBT are required in order to cover the entire body of the patient, beam characterization at conventional treatment distances is not sufficient and a calibration distance of 500cm or higher is required. Materials and methods:Calibration of radiochromic Gafchromic~? EBT2 film (RCF) for electrons was performed in a solid water phantom (Scanditronix Wellh?fer) at a depth of 1.4cm and a Source Axis Distance (SAD) of 100cm. A polynomial fit was applied to the calibration curve, in order to obtain the equation relating dose response with optical density. The spatial distribution is obtained in terms of percentage of the dose, placing 3×3cm samples of RCF on the acrylic screen, which is placed in front of the patient in order to obtain maximum absorbed dose on the skin, covering an area of 200×100cm~2. The Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) curve was obtained placing RCF samples at depths of 0, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9cm in the solid water phantom, irradiated with an ELEKTA SINERGY Linear Accelerator electron beam, with an energy of 6 MeV, at a Source Skin Distance (SSD) of 500cm, with 1000MU = 100Gy, with a cone of 40x40cm and gantry angle of 90°. The RCFs were scanned on a flatbed scanner (EPSON EXPRESSION 10000 XL) and the images were processed with the ImageJ program using a region of interest (ROI) of 1x1cm2. Results:The relative spatial dose distribution and the percentage depth dose for a SSD of 500±0.5cm, over an area of 200×100cm~2 was obtained, resulting to an effective maximum dose depth (Zref) for electrons of 1.4±0.05cm. Using the same experimental data, horizontal and vertical beam profiles were also graphed, showing a horizontal symmetry of ±035%, horizontal flatness of ±3.62%, vertical symmetry of ±2.1% and vertical flatness of ±14.2%. Conclusions:The electron beam was characterized and the data obtained were useful to determine the spatial dose distribution to a SSD of 500±0.5cm, in an area of 200x100cm2. Dose profiles were obtained both horizontally and vertically, thus allowing to assess electron beam symmetry and flatness. PDD analysis up to a depth of 9±0.05cm, has made possible to establish the depth of electron penetration, assuring an only skin irradiation treatment.
