Resumen de Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are non-Hodgkin’s T-cell lymphomas that present as skin lesions. Mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation has a 5-year overall survival of 32% with involved skin and 7% with extracutaneous involvement. Failure to cure advanced MF with large cell transformation and peripheral T-cell lymphoma has resulted in a search for novel targeted agents including antibodies and gene modulators. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are small molecules that seem to be particularly active for T-cell lymphoma.
