Abstract
In this report, a role of radiation therapy in the management of primary cutaneous lymphoma was reviewed. There is no randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of treatment modalities for primary cutaneous lymphoma except one, which compares combination radiation and chemotherapy with topical therapy in the initial treatment of mycosis fungoides. Most of the articles referring to treatment outcomes were descriptive studies. Well-designed controlled studies may be required to establish the significance of radiation therapy for cutaneous lymphoma. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2004; 19: 72-79]
