Is it appropriate to use electrons to treat a fibrosarcomatous DFSP of the face s/p R1 WLE?
Assuming the patient is to get adjuvant RT for an R1 resection on the face, would you treat using electrons? Adequate depth would require at least 9MeV.

If the geometry of the target volume is conducive to electrons, it is reasonable to consider. I might also consider use of a custom compensator such as: https://dotdecimal.com/products-proton-electron-or-photon-therapies/electrons-electron-treatment/bolusect-bolus-electron-conformal-therapy/
