CTCL is the most frequent occurring cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by an indolent and protracted course of patches, plaques and tumors. It is highly symptomatic, debilitating, disfiguring and impacting on the patient's quality of life. The treatment strategy for CTCL is based on the exact diagnosis including the stage of disease and aims to preserve cellular immune function, while achieving an anti-tumor effect. Given the nature of the disease and the cumulative and additive toxicities of treatments used, the intensity and duration of long-term therapy is limited.
