  • Title: The Use of Interferons in the Treatment of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.
    Author: Spaccarelli N, Rook AH.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 2015 Oct; 33(4):731-45. PubMed ID: 26433845.
    Abstract:
    Interferons are polypeptides that naturally occur in the human body as a part of the innate immune response. By harnessing these immunomodulatory functions, synthetic interferons have shown efficacy in combating various diseases including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This article closely examines the qualities of interferon alfa and interferon gamma and the evidence behind their use in the 2 most common types of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, namely, mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.
