Ultraviolet radiation for treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) often begins as limited patches and plaques on the skin that can be effectively treated with ultraviolet radiation. Many long-term remissions and cures have been well documented with the use of ultraviolet radiation alone for stage I CTCL. The side effects of this treatment are minimal.
