Core Tip
Core tip: Some cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients progress to advanced-stage disease or leukaemic stages. To date, there is no cure for those cases. In the last few years, several publications reported durable responses in some patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Our aim is to define outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for mycosis fungoides and Sèzary syndrome.
