Primary cutaneous lymphomas encompass a wide spectrum of rare lymphoproliferative disorders originating in the skin, among which, mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype. The treatment of this disease is based on skin-directed therapies eventually in association with biologic response modifiers in the early phases, whereas in patients with the advanced stages, several therapeutic strategies can be used including mono and/or polychemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. In recent years, the identification of specific markers (phenotypical, immunological, and molecular) has led to the development of several studies (including two randomized phase III trials). The results of these studies are modifying our therapeutic strategy toward a personalized treatment approach in which the clinical characteristics of the patients and tumor-node-metastasis-blood stage are considered together with the expression of specific markers (i.e., a CD30-positive expression for the use of brentuximab vedotin). This review will provide a comprehensive scenario of the main phenotypical, molecular, and immunological markers related to MF pathogenesis and disease evolution, which could represent the target for the development of innovative effective treatments in this disease.

Abstract

Primary cutaneous lymphomas encompass a wide spectrum of rare lymphoproliferative disorders originating in the skin, among which, mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype. The treatment of this disease is based on skin-directed therapies eventually in association with biologic response modifiers in the early phases, whereas in patients with the advanced stages, several therapeutic strategies can be used including mono and/or polychemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. In recent years, the identification of specific markers (phenotypical, immunological, and molecular) has led to the development of several studies (including two randomized phase III trials). The results of these studies are modifying our therapeutic strategy toward a personalized treatment approach in which the clinical characteristics of the patients and tumor-node-metastasis-blood stage are considered together with the expression of specific markers (i.e., a CD30-positive expression for the use of brentuximab vedotin). This review will provide a comprehensive scenario of the main phenotypical, molecular, and immunological markers related to MF pathogenesis and disease evolution, which could represent the target for the development of innovative effective treatments in this disease.
