Therapy of cutaneous lymphoma--current practice and future developments.

Cutaneous lymphomas include various types of clonal lymphoproliferative disorders. The adequate treatment approach depends on the exact diagnosis and should be non-aggressive in most cases. In early stages, local approaches such as UV or radiotherapy are preferred. In advanced stages, systemic drugs such as interferon-alpha or bexarotene can be administered. Experimental approaches for cutaneous lymphomas include vaccination and gene therapy.
