Radiation therapy (RT) is administered with varying intentions, sometimes even several times in the same or in different body areas, to over 50% of patients with neoplastic conditions. Numerous techniques are available to patients in the clinical evolution of mycosis fungoides (MF), and there are several indications for radiation therapy (RT). RT as a skin-directed therapy is very widely used in these patients, either alone or in conjunction with other therapies. The application of RT, a tried-and-true therapy that improves MF patients’ quality of life and treatment, can be encouraged by a multidisciplinary approach and an understanding of current methods and action mechanisms.
