A technique of enbloc irradiation of the axilla and supraclavicular regions combines electrons of 2 widely different energies. The tolerance of these regions is described and compared with that of the internal mammary areas. A time-dose schedule presented for treatment of these areas produces the least reaction and discomfort and seems equally effective in controlling microscopic disease. Acute reactions of skin from electron therapy heal quickly, with minimal late changes.Article HistoryAccepted: Nov 1969Published in print: May 1970 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 95, No. 2 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
