Patient 1 continued subcutaneous IFN-α treatment during vaccination. Patient 8 used an intermediate potency topical steroid once a week. Patient 9 continued to use retinoids and intralesional IFN-α. Partial remission in the stage 3 patient 10 with Sézary syndrome was defined as greater than 50% reduction in erythroderma lasting for more than 1 month. Some additional tumors were treated with radiotherapy or topical imiquimod. Stabilization and regression occurred, even for tumors that received no additional therapy.
RT indicates radiotherapy; MTX, methotrexate; ND, not done; NA, not applicable; PD, progressive disease; −, less than 3 mm; +, 3-10 mm; ++, 11-20 mm; and +++, more than 20 mm.
indicates deceased.
