  • Title: The role of maintenance phototherapy in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
    Author: Pothiawala SZ, Baldwin BT, Cherpelis BS, Glass LF, Fenske NA.
    Journal: J Drugs Dermatol; 2010 Jul; 9(7):800-3. PubMed ID: 20677536.
    Abstract:
    Phototherapy is well-recognized as effective therapy in early stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (patch and plaque), often resulting in complete clearance of clinical disease and subsequent remission. Although not curable, long-term remission can often be attained utilizing maintenance phototherapy, consisting of a course of less frequent treatments over time. Herein, the authors review the literature regarding the role of maintenance phototherapy in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and its success in prolonging clinical remission and disease-free survival in CTCL.
