How Superficial X-ray/Electron Beam Radiation Therapy (Skin/Superficial) is performed
Superficial radiation therapy is performed after specialist evaluation with localization simulation, selection of appropriate energy and irradiation field, and preparation of necessary shielding. The physician develops a dose and fractionation plan based on the characteristics of the lesion and implements irradiation under a treatment machine according to the schedule. Skin reactions and tolerance are monitored during treatment. The goal is to control local lesions while protecting surrounding tissues. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
