Mycosis fungoides and total skin electron beam radiation.

To the Editor: We are writing to clarify comments concerning total skin electron beam radiation (TSE) made by Diamandidou et al[1][1] in their comprehensive review of mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome. The technical description of TSE in the review did not distinguish between premodern and
