Second neoplasm in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients: a marker of worse prognosis?
CONCLUSIONS: In all the instances, statistical analysis showed that mean mSWAT score before/after SN diagnosis had a significantly difference (p value=0.0037) suggesting that patients with a SN may have a worse clinical outcome. By secreting immunosuppressive cytokines or recruiting immunosuppressive cells, a sort of mutual help between the two neoplasms may be prompted. Our data suggest that SN development in MF patients may be regarded as a worse prognostic marker.
