Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

Description
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of cancer of the white blood cells (T-lymphocytes) that affects the skin and the blood.  Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS) make up the majority of cases of CTCL.  Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of CTCL that primarily affects the skin and is expressed in three phases: patch, plaque, and tumor. Sezary Syndrome is the advanced form of MF and affects the blood, causing SS patients to be often red from head to toe and cause their skin to be hot, sore and itchy.
