Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma: Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome

Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma: Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome I was pleasantly surprised to learn about 3 new publications on the esoteric subject of cutaneous lymphomas. I am glad to see an awakening in the interest of publishers in a subject that had been long neglected. Historically, releases of books on cutaneous lymphomas have been few and far apart, owing not only to the rarity of these conditions but also because for years we had more questions than answers. These publications appear at a special time when we are witnessing major advances in our understanding of the nature of cutaneous lymphomas. Such progress has resulted in a new and more precise classification of cutaneous lymphomas, and our modern understanding of its pathomechanism has also resulted in more rational and effective therapeutic approaches. Hershel Zackheim is undoubtedly one of the most experienced and respected clinicians in the field of cutaneous lymphomas. It is a particular treat for us to learn from his vast experience and keen observations, which he shares with us in this book. It is admirable how Hershel, at this stage of his career and after running the Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco, for more than 30 years, still has the energy and enthusiasm to edit this great book. Dr Zackheim wrote the chapters related to epidemiology, clinical presentation, and therapy, while he counts on the assistance of several other experts for the pathological and molecular aspects of the disease. This book is a quick read and is probably the most up to date in the subject, providing a balanced, thoughtful, and comprehensive approach in dealing with all aspects of CTCL. I highly recommend this book to dermatology residents as well as to general dermatologists willing to review and learn about the present approach to mycosis fungoides and related conditions in a clear, pragmatic manner. Utility Index: Useful. Production Quality: Good. Primary Readership: Dermatology residents and general dermatologists. Value for Money: Reasonable. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Dermatology American Medical Association
