516 The diagnostic and prognostic value of five blood markers in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas: a validation cohort

Clinical and laboratory diagnostics of mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common cutaneous lymphoma is challenging. Our previous work described 4 promising markers of S ézary syndrome (SS): T-plastin, Twist, NKp46 and KIR3DL2 (Michel et al. 2013). Tox has been shown to be an additional marker for MF and SS. The aim of the present study was to confirm this combination of blood-derived markers in a validation cohort of SS, erythodermic and earlier MF for improving d iagnosis and predicting prognosis. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MF or SS and patients with other skin diseases were included.
