Interventions

  • Quality-of-Life Assessment — OTHER
    At initial visit (day 1) - for determination of a baseline quality of life, patients will be given a self-reported questionnaire called the Skindex-29. Following standard of care radiation treatments, at weeks 6 \& 12, and every 3 months thereafter, patients will complete the Skindex-29 questionnaire.
  • Objective Grading of Skin Findings — OTHER
    At initial visit (day 1) , using mSWAT the radiation oncologist can follow the patient's treatment response by accurately grading the severity of the patient's skin findings. Following standard of care radiation treatments, at weeks 6 \& 12, and every 3 months thereafter, mSWAT will again be determined by physician. Follow-up visits will continue until patient has a change in disease.

Study Details

This clinical trial studies low- dose total skin electron therapy in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA mycosis fungoides that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Radiation therapy uses high energy electrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Rotisserie technique is a method in which the patient receives total skin electron therapy while standing on a rotating platform. Giving low dose total skin electron therapy using rotisserie technique may kill tumor cells, while having fewer side effects, and may allow therapy to be repeated in future if clinically indicated.

Arms

  • Arm: Quality of Life/ Grading Skin Findings
    Patients' baseline quality of life is established by completion of an initial questionnaire, and skin lesion burden is quantified by physical examination using a recommended system . Following the standard of care radiation therapy, patients' completion of questionnaire, and physical examination is repeated for continued assessment.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in skin-related quality of life assessed by Skindex-29 [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 3 years ]
