Continuation of systemic treatment in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is associated with reduced health care resource utilization

Background: Treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) consists of skin-directed therapies for early-stage and systemic therapies (ST) for advanced disease. STs include extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP), retinoids, interferons, histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), human antibodies, and chemotherapy, according to the NCCN guidelines. We conducted a database analysis to assess ST continuation.
