Low PD-1 expression and no prognostic impact in early-stage Mycosis Fungoides: 61 patients retrospective cohort analysis

Abstract

Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is an indolent behavior cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Most patients present a slowly progressive course, over many years. However, some patients evolve early towards advanced stages of the disease, despite adequate treatment, having therefore, a worse prognosis. Increasing knowledge of risk factors that contribute to a better prognostic evaluation is considered of interest.
