我们到了吗？皮肤 T 细胞淋巴瘤的细胞治疗

Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogenous group of skin-involved T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma which Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome are the most common variants. Despite considerable progress in distinguishing the pathophysiology, the treatment options are still limited for advanced-stage disease. Recent approval of novel agents such as vorinostat, brentuximab vedotin and mogamulizumab paved a way. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to be a feasible option in selected advanced-stage CTCL patients.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have been promising for the treatment of B-cell tumors and have been approved for second-line treatment in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although several obstacles still need to be addressed, CAR T cell treatment for CTCLs seems not far off. This review discusses new discoveries in pathophysiology, the state of cellular therapies in current practice, challenges for cellular treatment in advanced CTCL, and how to overcome these challenges.
