Novel therapeutic agents for cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma

J Hematol Oncol. 2012 May 17:5:24. doi: 10.1186/1756-8722-5-24.

Abstract

Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary Syndrome (SS) represent the most common subtypes of primary Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Patients with advanced MF and SS have a poor prognosis leading to an interest in the development of new therapies with targeted mechanisms of action and acceptable safety profiles. In this review we focus on such novel strategies that have changed the treatment paradigm of this rare malignancy.
