Summary

This trial looks at using low doses of radiation to treat mycosis fungoides. The hope is that it will be more effective than higher doses with fewer side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with mycosis fungoides, a type of skin lesion. Eligible participants can have any stage of the disease and may be undergoing other treatments. They must not apply certain topical agents to the lesion before joining, and women who can become pregnant need a negative pregnancy test.
What is being tested?
The study tests ultra low dose radiation therapy's effectiveness in treating mycosis fungoides. It aims to control the disease with fewer side effects than higher doses. Patients' quality of life will also be assessed through questionnaires.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, ultra low dose radiation may include skin irritation, fatigue, mild swelling or redness at treatment sites compared to higher doses which often cause more severe reactions.
