A method to modify the dose distribution of high-energy electron beams of betatrons operating in the 4- to 31-MeV energy range was successfully applied to cases of carcinoma of the buccal mucosa, using 10- to 16-MeV energy. Marked radiation reaction occurred only in the area of the lesion. No visible reaction was seen in other parts of the oral cavity. Two of 3 lesions improved and showed no evidence of disease one and one-half years after completion of treatment.
