Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a heterogeneous subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma characterized by a cutaneous infiltration of malignant T lymphocytes. Treatment may include local irradiation of the skin lesions using external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Lesions located on extremities can be difficult to treat with EBRT, particularly when they wrap around the limb, due to the curvature of the surface and the associated risk of lymphedema. We propose a technique for HDR brachytherapy that is adequately suited for such challenging targets.
