Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Skin lymphomas are extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with the skin being the most common extranodal site.
  • Yearly incidence approaches 1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.
  • Classified broadly into cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL), with diverse clinical presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of radiotherapy in the multidisciplinary management of cutaneous lymphoma.
  • To highlight radiotherapy's efficacy in treating localized and advanced skin lymphomas.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on radiotherapy in cutaneous lymphoma treatment.
  • Analysis of existing data on curative and palliative applications of radiation therapy.
