Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a chronic form of skin cancer. Skin-directed therapies rarely achieve complete clearance of lesions, and recurrences are frequent. In this case series, 9 patients with stage IA to IVA2 CTCL received intralesional (IL) therapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and imiquimod (IMQ) cream 5% daily to recalcitrant plaques and tumors. All 9 patients attained a complete response (CR) with no recurrences reported and no severe side effects. We find that combination IL 5-FU and IMQ cream 5% daily is a well-tolerated, effective, and durable skin-directed therapy for recalcitrant plaques and tumors in CTCL.
皮肤 T 细胞淋巴瘤(CTCL)是一种慢性皮肤癌。皮肤靶向治疗很少能完全清除病变,且经常复发。在本病例系列中,9 名 IA 期至 IVA2 期 CTCL 患者接受了局部(IL)治疗,用 5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)和咪喹莫特(IMQ)乳膏 5%每日治疗顽固斑块和肿瘤。所有 9 名患者均获得完全缓解(CR),无复发,无严重副作用。我们发现,联合局部注射 5-FU 和 IMQ 乳膏 5%每日治疗顽固斑块和肿瘤是一种耐受性良好、有效且持久的 CTCL 皮肤靶向治疗方法。
