Study Notes
EORTC Consensus Recommendations for MF/SS Treatment
- Updated recommendations for mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) provided by the EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Tumours Group.
- Previous versions were published in 2006 and 2017; the new update considers recent treatment options and literature.
- Treatment options are categorized by disease stage with distinctions between first- and second-line therapies.
Key Updates in Treatment Options
- Inclusion of new therapies such as chlormethine, brentuximab vedotin, and mogamulizumab.
- Recommendations for pegylated interferon α following the discontinuation of unpegylated forms.
- Emphasis on supportive therapy and special considerations for older patients.
Therapeutic Approaches
- Skin-directed therapies remain the preferred treatment for early-stage MF due to their effectiveness.
- Patients typically maintain a normal life expectancy, although they may experience morbidity.
- Advanced disease treatment options have recently diversified, but many patients undergo multiple therapies with limited duration of response.
Prognosis and Management
- Prognosis in advanced stages is poor with long-term remission largely achievable only via allogeneic stem cell transplantation in select patients.
- Continuous improvement in understanding MF/SS will enhance management and patient care.
Disease Classification and Assessment
- The TNMB (Tumor, nodes, metastasis, blood) staging classification is utilized for evaluating disease extent.
- Updated definitions for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas align with the 5th edition of the WHO classification of haematolymphoid tumors.
Treatment Goals
- Treatment for MF/SS generally remains palliative; strategies are aimed at preserving quality of life.
- The necessity for individualized treatment approaches based on stage, previous responses, and patient health conditions is highlighted.
