Racial Disparities in the Clinical Presentation and Prognosis of Patients with Mycosis Fungoides.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to their white counterparts in this cohort, black males were diagnosed with MF at a higher stage with greater skin involvement while black females were diagnosed and died earlier. Earlier recognition of MF in skin of color and closer follow-up of black females with early-onset, aggressive disease may help to mitigate disparities in outcomes.
