Usclc Information

The USCLC has an annual workshop held the day before the American Academy of Dermatology meeting in which we address different current issues that can advance patient care. We have focused in past years on ways to standardize the evaluation, staging, and treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome and to develop standardized guidelines for conducting clinical trials in these disorders. More recently, we have taken on the important topics of treatment of pruritus and the use of phototherapy in mycosis fungoides. The first World Congress of Cutaneous Lymphoma was jointly sponsored by the USCLC, ISCL and Northwestern University in September 2010. This meeting focused on an update on the basic and clinical information on the entire breadth of cutaneous lymphoma as well as introduced a practical workshop for those physicians treating cutaneous lymphoma patients. The USCLC hopes to jointly sponsor with the ISCL a World Congress on Cutaneous Lymphoma at least every 2-3 years going forward. In the Publications section of USCLC website, we will be presenting key articles that would be of interest to those physicians taking care of cutaneous lymphoma patients. Where feasible, we will establish links to the original publications.
