Description
Summary:Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Most cases of MF progress slowly with a good prognosis. However, some early-stage patients may still experience disease progression with a poor prognosis. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining is a commonly used diagnostic method in clinical practice. Common markers such as CD4, CD8, CD20, and CD30 have different expression patterns in mycosis fungoides. In addition, these markers can also be used to evaluate the degree of disease progression and prognosis. In-depth research on immunohistochemical markers helps better understand the pathogenesis of MF and provides a more accurate basis for clinical treatment, such as guiding the selection of treatment regimens and evaluating treatment effects, in addition to its indispensable role in the clinical management of MF. This article reviews the role of IHC markers in the diagnosis and prognosis of MF and explores the application value of different molecular marker patterns.
