- Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (1). Most patients initially respond well to standard therapy, but advanced MF is often treatment refractory. Thus, a combination of the available treatment options is an important strategy. Total skin electron beam radiation (TSEB) is effective in MF, with a complete remission rate of up to 90% in the early stages. However, in patients with more advanced stages, remission rates are considerably lower (2, 3).

However, in patients with more advanced stages, remission rates are considerably lower (2, 3). Denileukin diftitox (DD) (Ontak®) is a recombinant fusion protein of the receptor-binding domain of interleukin (IL)-2 and the enzymatic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin (4). It targets the alpha-subunit of the IL-2-receptor (CD25). There are no reports on this combination therapy in MF.…
