摘要
Mycosis fungoides and Sèzary syndrome are the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Even though, in early-stage disease, Mycosis fungoides commonly has a more indolent course, disease will progress in about 20% of such patients. About 30% of patients have been reported to develop advancedstage disease and, at present, there is no cure for the disease. A number of systemic approaches have been used for advanced-stage mycosis fungoides(IIB-IV) and transformed disease. Aggressive approaches seem to be warranted in such patients. The scope of this review is the stem cell transplantation in mycosis fungoides and its leukemic variant, Sèzary syndrome.
