P019 Diagnosis and Management of Cutaneous Lymphomas: Cases from Multidisciplinary Clinics for the General Derm
DESCRIPTION
In this session, cutaneous lymphoma experts will use real-life cases from their multidisciplinary cutaneous lymphoma clinics to illustrate best practices for diagnosing and managing cutaneous B-cell and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Emphasis will be placed on practical tips, including:
-How T-cell gene rearrangements can help aid in diagnosis of CTCL
-How to stage a new patient with suspected CTCL
-Skin-directed therapies for CTCL, including how to prescribe topical nitrogen mustard
-Oral therapies for CTCL
-Treatments for advanced CTCL, and when to refer to an oncologist
-Emerging therapies for CTCL
-Non-MF/SS CTCLs and when to suspect these more aggressive lymphomas
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Identify some of the most common and “don’t miss” subtypes of cutaneous lymphoma seen by the general dermatologist.
Discuss strategies for accurate diagnoses of cutaneous lymphomas, including the use of molecular techniques (flow cytometry and clonality).
Outline a treatment strategy for early stage and for advanced stage CTCL.
