Abstract

© 2019, Japanese Society of Hematology. Advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) patients have a dismal prognosis, especially those relapsing or progressing after systemic therapy. No curative therapies are available, but some new agents have prolonged disease-free survival time with a good toxicity profile. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) offers the longest disease-free survival, potentially representing the best therapeutic option for eligible patients. In the present article, we discuss current evidence about allo-SCT for CTCL patients, timing, and new therapeutic options before allo-SCT, taking into account some considerations that may impact clinical outcome.
