Abstract

The aetiology and clinical management of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and specifically of mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome are poorly defined. Interesting new insights into CTCL disease biology as well as a number of emerging of novel therapeutic interventions make this an increasingly interesting area for dermatologists and oncologists involved in the treatment of CTCL. This review article covers much of this new information including new drugs, such as denileukin diftitox (Ontak) a targeted cytotoxic biological agent, Bexarotene an RXR selective retinoid, anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), new cytotoxics agents and vaccines.
