Sixty-nine patients with mycosis fungoides, plaque stage, were treated in an open study with photochemotherapy (PUVA) or the combination of oral retinoids and PUVA (RePUVA). The response rate of Re-PUVA was equal to that of PUVA, with complete remission in 73% and 72%, respectively. Remissions were obtained with fewer PUVA sessions, and with a lower UVA dosage, if PUVA was combined with retinoids. A lower UVA dosage was needed if treatment was given four times weekly instead of twice weekly. The duration of the remissions tended to be prolonged if retinoids were given as maintenance therapy.Downloads
