I sat far away, made certain not to run into that tapeworm known as Keith Downey (seriously? I have to set my leadership standards this low? No thanks) and sat far from the madd[ing] crowd. Mad it remained, though." Funny enough, John. But what about the panel's prescriptions for recovery and effective therapy?.SS is a leukemic variant of human CTCL characterized by erythroderma, generalized lymphadenopathy, and the presence of neoplastic Sezary cells in the skin, lymph nodes and peripheral blood.6, 7, 8 SS is also generally considered to be a leukemic variant of the more common human CTCL, MF.6 Both SS and MF account for 2 of all lymphomas and >70% of all CTCLs. SS has a poor prognosis with an estimated 5year survival of 15%.9 Therefore, the development of Sezary cells denotes a poor prognosis and the results of various treatments for SS are generally disappointing. Little is known about the molecular nature of the leukemic cells involved in SS and MF.
