Computed Tomography scanning in mycosis fungoides – optimising the balance between benefit and harm

Abstract

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), accounting for 55% cases¹. Although incurable, it most often presents in early-stage with a good prognosis. The primary aim is to minimise symptoms and maximise quality of life. The UK British Association of Dermatologists 2003 guidelines recommend a staging computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis for patients with stage IIA and above².
