Demystifying Cutaneous Lymphoma: A Simple Explanation Pt1 (with photos)

With photos. When a rash is cancer. My diagnosis. #cutaneouslymphoma #rarediseases
Cutaneous (skin) T Cell Lympoma is not skin cancer, but what is it and can it go from your skin to internal lymphoma? What does it look like? I'll show you photos of cutaneous T Cell lymphoma using my personal photos, and some photos of others with CTCL.

HOW IS PRIMARY CUTANEOUS ANAPLASTIC LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA TREATED?
There are many options for treating PCALCL available, but localized treatment with either radiation therapy or surgical excision are the preferred therapies for single lesions of PCALCL. Radiation therapy is most commonly used, and has a response rate of 100%. Radiation therapy has been shown to be more effective and longer lasting than using multi-agent (“traditional”) chemotherapy.
For multiple or widespread lesions in which radiation therapy or surgery aren’t good options, there are several possible alternatives for treating PCALCL. As research is continuously changing, there may be other options that are not listed here:
• Bexarotene (Targretin®) capsules
• Brentuximab vedotin
• CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy
• CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy
• Imiquimod
• Low doses of methotrexate (Trexall)
• Nitrogen mustard (Mustargen topical)
• PUVA (Psoralen and ultraviolet-A light)
• Thalidomide
All of these therapies are effective in treating the disease, although relapse is common and, therefore, long-term follow-up care is required.
