Silvana Novelli et al., « Management experience of advanced-stage mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome: a retrospective study from Spanish haematology referral units », European Journal of Dermatology, ID : 10670/1.5jd1i3
Background: Advanced-stage mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome (aMF/SS) has a dismal outcome. The only curative treatment is allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) but this is limited to selected candidates, thus palliative therapy is the most frequent strategy. Objectives: To describe the characteristics of aMF/SS in cases referred to haematology units for advanced/palliative therapy. Materials and Methods: Data from 30 patients were collected from four centres, and descriptive statistics, frequencies and survival analyses were calculated. Results: Eighty-eight per cent of patients received systemic therapy. The median number of therapies was three (range: 1-9). Bexarotene (21%), CHOP-like chemotherapy (10%) and methotrexate (9%) were the more common treatments. The overall survival at a median follow-up of 28 months (range: 8-65 months) for aMF/SS was 56.9%. Survival probability was more favourable for MF (p
