Many problems arise when treating superficial malignancies along the entire scalp. Some techniques will irradiate too much of the underlying brain while others are highly complex and may involve field junction problems. One approach to circumvent such difficulties is to use lateral opposed photon fields and adjoining electron fields as described in this paper. Sufficient dose coverage throughout the entire scalp is achieved, the normal brain tissues receives minimal dosages, the complexities of simulation and treatment are greatly eased, and the ambiguities of doses at field junction regions are diminished.
