Mycosis fungoides (MF) treatment must be chosen only after staging extent of lymphoma. Stage I and II diseases respond best to either topical nitrogen mustard, photochemotherapy (PUVA), or electron beam. Chemotherapy of stage III and IV MF has only limited remission rates. Combinations of therapies and experimental approaches, such as monoclonal antibodies, may give longer survivals.
