Treatment of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas of follicle center cell origin: a clinical follow-up study of 55 patients treated with radiotherapy or polychemotherapy.

Abstract

Both RT and CHOP PCT are highly effective modes of treatment for PCFCCL. In localized PCFCCL, RT is the treatment of choice. In patients with multiple tumors involving anatomic nonrelated parts of the skin, CHOP rather than COP PCT is the preferred mode of treatment. PCFCCL on the lower legs, a subgroup that characteristically occur in elderly patients, have a higher relapse rate and a less favorable prognosis than PCFCCL presenting on the head or trunk.
