European Journal of Cancer 195 (2023) 113343 Immunotherapy Major changes to the previous version include the incorporation of chlormethine, brentuximab vedotin, and Retinoids Corticosteroids mogamulizumab, recommendations on the use of pegylated interferon α (after withdrawal of recombinant unpegylated interferons), and the addition of paragraphs on supportive therapy and on the care of older patients. Still, skin-directed therapies are the most appropriate option for early-stage MF and most patients have a normal life expectancy but may suffer morbidity and impaired quality of life. In advanced disease treatment options have expanded recently. Most patients receive multiple consecutive therapies with treatments often having a relatively short duration of response. For those patients prognosis is still poor and only for a highly selected subset long term remission can be achieved with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Understanding of the disease, its epidemiology and clinical course, and its most appropriate management are gradually advancing, and there is well-founded hope that this will lead to further improvements in the care of patients with MF/SS. 1. Introduction current Tumor (skin) Lymph nodes Metastasis (viscera) Blood (TNMB)- staging classification is provided in Tables 2 and 3. For a detailed In 2004 the European Organisation of Research and Treatment of description of the clinical and pathological characteristics of MF and its Cancer (EORTC) Cutaneous Lymphoma Task Force (now Cutaneous variants and of SS see earlier published reviews [2,8,9]. Lymphoma Tumour Group) organised a workshop to initiate the Finally, before going into detail of therapeutic options and before development and publication of a European consensus on the treatment considering who should be treated how, it is still and of unchanged of mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS). This effort importance to keep in mind that, although appropriate treatment will be resulted in the publication of the first EORTC-consensus recommenda­ effective in most patients, therapy in MF/SS is generally palliative and tions for the treatment of MF/SS in 2006 to be revised and updated in should follow a step wise, stage-adapted approach giving priority to 2017. Since then, the disease classification has again been refined, maintenance of quality of life. Remarkable exceptions to this existing treatment regimens modified or removed and novel modalities principle are allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) in advanced introduced, necessitating another update, which is presented here [1–3]. disease and the anecdotal patient with long term remission after Maintaining its original structure (stage-wise recommendations, skin-directed therapy (SDT) in localised early stages, where the primary separated into first- and second line options, wherever appropriate), intention of treatment is curative. reference to the previous version of the recommendations will be made In an orphan condition and with evidence from larger randomised whenever possible to avoid redundancy and duplication. At the same controlled trials still rare, guidelines developed by various national and time some parts of the previous version will again be included to international groups help with decision making [11–15].
