[Translated article] Analyzing the Quality of Life of Individuals With Cutaneous Lymphomas

Primary cutaneous lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, most of them chronic with multiple relapses, which can have an impact on the patient's quality of life. The main aim of the study was to assess the quality of life of patients with cutaneous lymphomas using different validated questionnaires. A total of 32 patients were included in the study (mean age, 64 years; 75% men). A total of 68.8% of lymphomas were mycosis fungoides. Age, number of therapies administered and pruritus were associated with worse quality of life as assessed by the different questionnaires. The use of quality of life-questionnaires may be useful in the holistic evaluation of the patient.
