Abstract

Therapies based on ultraviolet light have long been established in mycosis fungoides (MF). They have traditionally included whole-body ultraviolet light B, both broad-band and narrow-band, and psoralen plus ultraviolet A. Phototherapy may be applied alone in early stage MF or in combination with systemic therapy in refractory early stage MF and advanced MF. This article reviews the most frequently used forms of phototherapy for MF with emphasis on efficacy, safety, and practical considerations.
