Abstract
UV-based (PUVA and narrowband UVB) phototherapy is broadly and commonly used in the treatment of Cutaneous T-cell Lymphomas (CTCL), yet unfortunately, the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments is based only on case series or prospective but non-randomized studies. Therefore, no internationally approved guidelines exist and no standardization of schedules has been proposed. Recently, consensus guidelines have been published by the United States Cutaneous Lymphoma Consortium. The aim of this study was to review the biological and clinical evidences on PUVA and NB-UVB in CTCL and to critically evaluate acceptability and feasibility of these guidelines in the real-life setting from the perspective of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Task Force of the Italian Lymphoma Foundation (Fondazione Italiana Linfomi, FIL).
