Abstract

A case of mycosis fungoides, demblee variant, successfully treated by combined therapy with electron beam radiation and rIFN-γ is described. The patient was a 63-year-old male with rapidly progressive reddish tumors on the neck, chest and back. The prognostic index was 2.5, which was a very poor prognosis, using the procedure for calculation of the prognostic index for CTCL by the EORTC group. However, the patient was treated successfully by combined therapy with an electron beam radiation and topical injection of rIFN-γ. Since May of 1996, he has been free of disease.
