What is the outlook for patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)?

There is no cure for CTCL but many patients are able to keep the disease under control and remain free of symptoms for years. Most patients receiving treatment for early-stage mycosis fungoides have a normal life expectancy.

The following factors determine how well a patient is able to manage the disease:

  • The stage of the cancer
  • The type and number of skin abnormalities present
  • The patient’s age, sex and general health
