What is the most convenient and reproducible setup for simulation and treatment of the contralateral testis in a primary testicular lymphoma? 

This is an adult patient that is status-post orchiectomy and R-CHOP now requiring prophylactic contralateral testicular radiation. Would you recommend photons vs electrons? Any ideas for immobilization, beam angles or shielding?

Frog leg position with the penis taped to the pubic/abdominal wall.

Usually, electron beam with energy based on thickness and dose of 24 Gy.
