Assessing clinical outcomes in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
It is apparent that multiple end points are required to adequately describe the response to therapy for CTCL. Investigators may differ as to which end points are best suited for their data. In general, multiple end points provide a better overall view of response to treatment as compared with a single end point. Regardless, measures of response and end points should be clearly defined and the methods of calculating end points clearly stated.
