  • Histologically confirmed (according to the World Health Organization (WHO)/EORTC classification) MF/SS stages I-IV
  • WHO performance status 0 -3
  • Absence of psychiatric illness or condition which could interfere with the subjects' ability to understand the requirements of the study.
  • Written informed consent according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)/(Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and Swedish regulations
  • No minimum or maximum required routine laboratory data

Exclusion Criteria:

Not applicable. No exclusion criteria are specified.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients with Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Diagnostic test: Blood tests and testing of analysis of the lymphoma microenvironment in skin, skin barrier and skin microbiology profile.
The study aims to perform systematic translational sampling of each patient from study start until end-of-study, or at longest for a three year period for each patient. Treatment will be performed according to clinical routine.
