Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) — a heterogeneous group of primary skin lymphomas defined by the clonal proliferation of malignant T lymphocytes homing to and proliferating within the skin, encompassing a spectrum of clinical entities of which mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common variant (comprising approximately 50–60% of all CTCLs) and Sézary syndrome (SS) represents the leukemic variant with peripheral blood involvement, together accounting for approximately 3,000 new cases annually in the United States with an incidence of approximately 0.5–1.0 per 100,000 per year, with additional variants including primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL), lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP), subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL), and primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma — is staged for the dominant MF/SS variant by the ISCL/EORTC TNM classification system incorporating skin (T), lymph node (N), visceral involvement (M), and peripheral blood (B) assessments: Stage IA (T1, limited patches/plaques <10% BSA, N0, M0, B0/1), Stage IB (T2, extensive patches/plaques ≥10% BSA, N0, M0, B0/1), Stage IIA (T1–2, N1–2, M0, B0/1), Stage IIB (T3, skin tumor stage with one or more tumors ≥1 cm, N0–2, M0, B0/1), Stage IIIA/B (T4, confluent erythroderma, N0–2, M0, B0 for IIIA or B1 for IIIB), Stage IVA1 (any T, any N, M0, B2 — Sézary syndrome threshold), Stage IVA2 (any T, N3 — lymph node effacement, M0, any B), and Stage IVB (any T, any N, M1 — visceral organ involvement, any B), reflecting the prognostic and therapeutic relevance of skin extent, lymph node involvement, visceral metastasis, and blood tumor burden. Diagnosis requires skin biopsy histopathology with T-cell immunohistochemistry (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD30, CD25, CD56 panels), T-cell receptor (TCR) gamma/delta gene rearrangement clonality analysis by PCR or next-generation sequencing, flow cytometry for peripheral blood CTCL immunophenotyping and Sézary cell quantification (CD4+/CD7− or CD4+/CD26− populations, Sézary cell count ≥1000/μL defining Stage IVA1), and emerging molecular biomarker analysis including DNMT3A, TET2, JAK1, JAK2, STAT3, STAT5B, and RHOA mutation profiling by next-generation sequencing for prognosis and targeted therapy eligibility. Therapy for early-stage MF employs skin-directed therapies (SDTs) including topical corticosteroids, nitrogen mustard (mechlorethamine gel, Valchlor), topical retinoids (bexarotene gel), topical imiquimod, narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy, psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) photochemotherapy, total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) for widespread skin involvement, and focal radiotherapy for isolated tumor-stage lesions; advanced and systemic disease employs systemic retinoids (bexarotene oral, acitretin), histone deacetylase inhibitors (romidepsin, vorinostat, belinostat), extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) for erythrodermic and SS disease, mogamulizumab (anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody approved for relapsed/refractory MF/SS), CD30-directed brentuximab vedotin (for CD30-expressing pcALCL and CD30+ MF), duvelisib (PI3K delta/gamma inhibitor for relapsed/refractory CTCL), lenalidomide, pralatrexate (antifolate dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor), and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for eligible patients with advanced disease.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma technology platforms — whether supporting dermatology and oncodermatology programs managing skin-directed therapies (topical mechlorethamine gel prescribing and application documentation, NB-UVB phototherapy session scheduling and cumulative dose tracking, PUVA session scheduling and methoxsalen dosing, and TSEBT planning and delivery documentation), radiation oncology programs delivering focal radiotherapy for tumor-stage MF lesions using electron beam therapy (6–9 MeV electrons for superficial skin treatment) or TSEBT (Stanford technique or modified TSEBT with multiple stations and beam modifiers), flow cytometry and immunophenotyping laboratories performing Sézary cell quantification (CD4+/CD7−, CD4+/CD26− enumeration) and peripheral blood CTCL immunophenotyping (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD30, CD56 panels), molecular pathology laboratories performing TCR clonality analysis, CTCL mutation profiling (DNMT3A, TET2, JAK/STAT, RHOA), and CD30 immunohistochemistry for brentuximab eligibility, photopheresis programs operating extracorporeal photopheresis systems (ECP — collecting mononuclear cells by leukapheresis, exposing to 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA light, and reinfusing photoinactivated cells), hematology-oncology programs managing systemic agents including romidepsin, vorinostat, bexarotene, mogamulizumab, brentuximab vedotin, and duvelisib with corresponding toxicity surveillance, transplant programs coordinating allo-HSCT evaluation and conditioning for advanced CTCL, long-term dermatologic surveillance programs tracking skin lesion distribution and burden over multi-year follow-up, and clinical trial platforms for novel CTCL therapeutics including anti-KIR3DL2 antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cell therapies — must maintain the availability and performance standards that CTCL's chronic disease course, multi-modality skin-directed and systemic treatment management, and extended dermatologic surveillance require. This guide explains why CTCL tech platforms need dedicated monitoring, what components to monitor, and how to build a monitoring strategy that matches the dermatologic, phototherapy, systemic therapy, and transplant complexity of modern cutaneous T-cell lymphoma management.
Why Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Tech Platforms Require Specialized Monitoring Attention
CTCL management is defined by the chronic, multi-decade disease trajectory of early-stage MF managed with skin-directed therapies across years of phototherapy and topical treatment, Sézary syndrome's continuous monitoring requirements for peripheral blood tumor burden and extracorporeal photopheresis scheduling, the radiation delivery complexity of TSEBT for widespread skin involvement, CD30 and CCR4 biomarker-guided systemic therapy selection for brentuximab vedotin and mogamulizumab, and the transplant evaluation pathway for advanced allo-HSCT candidates. Technology failures across these domains create disruptions calibrated to the chronic disease management, phototherapy safety, systemic toxicity surveillance, and transplant coordination consequences unique to CTCL's clinical complexity.
Phototherapy scheduling and dose tracking platforms are essential for NB-UVB and PUVA safety. Narrowband UVB phototherapy — where cumulative dose management is fundamental because the minimum erythema dose (MED) increases with each session, requiring accurate session-by-session dose escalation records to avoid burns while achieving therapeutic effect across the weeks to months of continuous phototherapy required for MF skin clearance — and PUVA photochemotherapy — where methoxsalen dosing (weight-based, 0.5–0.6 mg/kg), timing between ingestion and UVA exposure, and cumulative UVA dose (with lifetime cumulative dose thresholds above which secondary skin cancer risk rises significantly) must be tracked with precision across a treatment course extending over months — require platforms managing phototherapy scheduling, session dose records, cumulative dose calculation, minimum erythema dose adjustment records, skin reaction monitoring, and phototherapy-related adverse event documentation. For patients undergoing phototherapy 2–3 times weekly for months, dose record accuracy is a direct treatment safety requirement. Monitor phototherapy platforms at 1-minute intervals during business hours.
TSEBT planning and delivery platforms require uninterrupted availability during radiation sessions. Total skin electron beam therapy — delivering 6–36 Gy to the entire skin surface using 6–9 MeV electrons with the Stanford six-field dual-angle technique (or modified techniques), requiring treatment planning that accounts for skin surface dose homogeneity, supplemental boost dosing to shielded areas (scalp, perineum, soles), and eye shielding — requires platforms managing TSEBT field arrangement planning, station-by-station dose delivery monitoring, eye shield positioning verification, and daily dose records. Electron beam delivery to the entire skin surface requires real-time monitoring of dose delivery per station. Monitor TSEBT delivery platforms at 1-minute intervals during active treatment sessions.
Sézary cell quantification and flow cytometry platforms directly determine disease staging and treatment response. Flow cytometry for Sézary cell quantification (CD4+/CD7− and CD4+/CD26− percentage and absolute count) — determining ISCL/EORTC blood stage (B0 <5% CD4+/CD26−, B1 5–<1000/μL, B2 ≥1000/μL Sézary cells with clonally confirmed TCR rearrangement matching skin biopsy, defining Stage IVA1) — and peripheral blood CTCL immunophenotyping (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD30, CD56) for disease monitoring and systemic therapy response assessment are quantitative determinations that directly govern disease staging reassignment and treatment escalation decisions. Platforms managing these laboratory workflows cannot fail during active diagnostic processing. Monitor flow cytometry platforms at 1-minute intervals during business hours.
Extracorporeal photopheresis platforms require continuous availability during ECP sessions. Extracorporeal photopheresis for erythrodermic MF (Stage IIIA/B) and Sézary syndrome — a two-day leukapheresis-based procedure collecting mononuclear cells, exposing them ex vivo to 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA irradiation in a disposable treatment circuit, and reinfusing photoinactivated cells — requires platforms managing leukapheresis scheduling and session monitoring, methoxsalen dosing records, UVA light chamber exposure documentation, post-ECP reinfusion monitoring, vascular access records, and treatment response assessment by serial Sézary cell counts. For a procedure requiring continuous apheresis circuit monitoring during the active mononuclear cell collection phase, platform availability during ECP sessions is a direct procedural safety requirement. Monitor ECP platforms at 1-minute intervals during ECP sessions.
Systemic therapy management platforms require enhanced monitoring for multi-agent toxicity surveillance. Romidepsin (HDAC inhibitor — QT prolongation monitoring, cardiac telemetry during infusion), vorinostat (HDAC inhibitor — DVT/PE monitoring, QTc monitoring, gastrointestinal toxicity), bexarotene (rexinoid — severe hypertriglyceridemia requiring lipid management, central hypothyroidism requiring thyroid replacement, teratogenicity contraception management), mogamulizumab (anti-CCR4 — severe cutaneous adverse reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome risk requiring skin monitoring, drug-reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, immune-related toxicity complicating subsequent allo-HSCT), brentuximab vedotin (anti-CD30 ADC — peripheral neuropathy monitoring, pulmonary toxicity, immunosuppression), and duvelisib (PI3K inhibitor — pneumonitis, hepatotoxicity, colitis monitoring) require platforms managing prescribing, infusion scheduling, toxicity surveillance, dose modification, and multidisciplinary toxicity documentation with toxicity profiles that are agent-specific and require individual monitoring paradigms. Monitor systemic therapy platforms at 1-minute intervals during business hours and infusion sessions.
Allo-HSCT coordination platforms must function for transplant evaluation and conditioning. Allo-HSCT for advanced CTCL — involving HLA typing, donor search and matching, conditioning regimen (reduced-intensity or myeloablative), GVHD prophylaxis with tacrolimus and methotrexate or post-transplant cyclophosphamide, and graft-versus-lymphoma effect monitoring — requires platforms managing transplant evaluation documentation, HLA typing and donor matching records, pre-conditioning organ function assessment, conditioning regimen prescribing and administration, GVHD surveillance and grading, and engraftment monitoring. Monitor transplant coordination platforms at 1-minute intervals during conditioning and early post-transplant periods.
What to Monitor on a Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Tech Platform
Phototherapy Scheduling and Dose Management
Monitor NB-UVB session scheduling records, individual session dose records (mJ/cm² per session), cumulative UVB dose calculation and tracking, minimum erythema dose assessment and dose escalation records, burn and skin reaction monitoring documentation, PUVA methoxsalen dose records (weight-based mg/kg calculations), UVA exposure dose per session (J/cm²), cumulative lifetime UVA dose tracking, PUVA-related phototoxicity and skin reaction monitoring, and phototherapy scheduling at 1-minute intervals during business hours. Alert immediately — phototherapy platform failures prevent accurate cumulative dose calculation critical for safe escalation in NB-UVB and for lifetime UVA dose threshold monitoring in long-term PUVA-treated patients.
TSEBT Planning and Electron Beam Delivery
Monitor TSEBT field arrangement and six-station planning records, electron beam energy and dose-per-station delivery monitoring, eye shield positioning verification records, supplemental boost dose records for shielded areas (perineum, scalp, soles), daily station-by-station dose documentation, skin reaction monitoring records, cumulative TSEBT dose tracking, and post-TSEBT skin toxicity assessment at 1-minute intervals during active TSEBT sessions. Alert immediately — TSEBT delivery failures during active electron beam treatment interrupt dose monitoring for a full-skin radiation modality where station-by-station delivery verification is essential for dose homogeneity.
Sézary Cell Quantification and Flow Cytometry
Monitor CD4+/CD7− and CD4+/CD26− flow cytometry records for Sézary cell quantification (absolute count per μL), ISCL/EORTC blood stage assignment (B0/B1/B2), peripheral blood CTCL immunophenotyping panel (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD30, CD56) results, T-cell clone-matched TCR rearrangement confirmation records, serial Sézary count trending for disease monitoring and ECP response assessment, and flow cytometry laboratory result routing at 1-minute intervals during business hours. Alert immediately — Sézary cell quantification platform failures delay peripheral blood stage assignment and Sézary syndrome diagnosis confirmation, blocking Stage IVA1 treatment escalation decisions.
TCR Clonality and Molecular Diagnostics
Monitor TCR gamma/delta gene rearrangement clonality analysis records (PCR or NGS-based), CTCL mutation profiling records (DNMT3A, TET2, JAK1, JAK2, STAT3, STAT5B, RHOA by NGS), CD30 immunohistochemistry quantification for brentuximab vedotin eligibility, CCR4 expression documentation for mogamulizumab eligibility, skin biopsy T-cell immunohistochemistry panel results (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD30, CD25, CD56), and molecular diagnostic result routing at 1-minute intervals during business hours. Alert immediately — molecular platform failures delay CD30 and CCR4 eligibility confirmation that governs brentuximab vedotin and mogamulizumab prescribing in relapsed or refractory disease.
Extracorporeal Photopheresis
Monitor ECP session scheduling, leukapheresis collection monitoring (total mononuclear cell yield, flow rate, collection time), methoxsalen dosing records, UVA light chamber exposure documentation (J/cm²), post-photopheresis cell reinfusion monitoring, vascular access catheter records, ECP circuit parameter monitoring, post-ECP Sézary cell count response assessment, and two-day ECP cycle documentation at 1-minute intervals during ECP procedures. Alert immediately — ECP platform failures during active leukapheresis collection or photopheresis circuit monitoring interrupt a complex apheresis procedure requiring continuous circuit and collection monitoring for erythrodermic CTCL patients receiving this primary immunomodulatory therapy.
Systemic Therapy Management
Monitor romidepsin prescribing and infusion records, QT/QTc monitoring during romidepsin infusion (baseline ECG and telemetry during active infusion), vorinostat prescribing and DVT/PE surveillance records, bexarotene oral dosing records, triglyceride and TSH monitoring for bexarotene-induced hypertriglyceridemia and hypothyroidism, contraception documentation for bexarotene (teratogenicity requirement), mogamulizumab infusion records, severe cutaneous adverse reaction surveillance (SCAR/SJS monitoring), brentuximab vedotin infusion records, peripheral neuropathy grading, duvelisib dosing and pneumonitis/hepatotoxicity/colitis surveillance, and multidisciplinary toxicity committee documentation at 1-minute intervals during business hours and infusion sessions. Alert immediately — systemic CTCL therapy management platform failures affect prescribing safety for agents with QT prolongation, severe dermatologic toxicity, teratogenicity, and multi-organ immune toxicity requiring individual monitoring paradigms.
Allo-HSCT Coordination
Monitor HLA typing and donor matching records, pre-conditioning organ function assessment (pulmonary function tests, cardiac evaluation, hepatic and renal function), reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning regimen prescribing and administration records, tacrolimus/methotrexate or post-transplant cyclophosphamide GVHD prophylaxis records, GVHD surveillance and grading (skin, gut, liver), engraftment monitoring (CBC with differential, chimerism analysis), graft-versus-lymphoma response assessment, and post-transplant immunosuppression management at 1-minute intervals during conditioning and early post-transplant periods. Alert immediately — transplant coordination platform failures during the conditioning period affect medication delivery safety for a high-intensity treatment with immediate hematologic consequence.
Long-Term Surveillance and Skin Burden Tracking
Monitor serial skin lesion distribution and burden assessment documentation (modified severity-weighted assessment tool — mSWAT, body surface area involvement), staging reassessment scheduling, serial Sézary count and peripheral blood monitoring for SS patients, long-term phototherapy cumulative dose tracking with skin cancer surveillance scheduling, and salvage treatment referral documentation during business hours. Alert on sustained failures — surveillance platform disruptions in a chronic, multi-decade disease delay disease progression recognition and timely treatment escalation.
Authentication and Clinical Identity
Monitor authentication at 1-minute intervals, 24/7. CTCL programs coordinate across dermatology, oncodermatology, radiation oncology, hematology-oncology, apheresis medicine, transplant medicine, dermatopathology, and flow cytometry — authentication failures simultaneously block the multidisciplinary care team managing patients on phototherapy, ECP, or systemic therapy across years-long treatment trajectories.
SSL Certificates
Monitor SSL certificate expiry across all patient portals, phototherapy scheduling systems, radiation therapy platforms, molecular diagnostics systems, systemic therapy management platforms, ECP procedural platforms, and transplant coordination systems. Certificate errors disrupt the chronic care coordination, phototherapy scheduling, and systemic therapy workflows of CTCL management.
HIPAA and Oncology Data Privacy Considerations
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma technology platforms handle sensitive PHI including TCR clonality analysis records with T-cell malignancy diagnosis implications, Sézary cell quantification records documenting peripheral blood disease stage with multi-year longitudinal trending, CTCL mutation profiling records (JAK/STAT, DNMT3A, TET2, RHOA) with prognostic and therapeutic eligibility implications, CD30 and CCR4 immunohistochemistry with targeted therapy eligibility documentation, serial NB-UVB and PUVA cumulative dose records spanning years or decades of phototherapy with secondary skin cancer risk implications, romidepsin QT monitoring records and cardiac telemetry data from infusion, bexarotene teratogenicity contraception documentation, mogamulizumab SCAR/SJS monitoring records, ECP leukapheresis session records, allo-HSCT HLA typing, donor matching, conditioning regimen, and GVHD surveillance records, and multi-decade longitudinal dermatologic surveillance records. HIPAA Security Rule requirements apply comprehensively to all components managing this extended PHI.
For platforms managing cumulative NB-UVB and PUVA dose records spanning decades of phototherapy — where accurate lifetime dose documentation is essential for secondary skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma) risk surveillance and the clinical decision about when cumulative phototherapy exposure exceeds safe long-term use — availability and integrity standards must accommodate the multi-decade PHI stewardship obligation for phototherapy records that outlast individual practitioner tenure at the treating institution. For platforms managing ECP leukapheresis session records — where apheresis circuit parameters, methoxsalen dosing, and UVA exposure documentation reflect an outpatient procedure that may be performed biweekly for years in Sézary syndrome management — continuous availability and data integrity must match the chronic procedure management obligation. Availability monitoring provides operational documentation relevant to HIPAA Security Rule compliance for CTCL programs managing multi-decade oncologic and phototherapy PHI.
Alerting Strategy for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Tech Platforms
Immediate alerting during treatment sessions: TSEBT electron beam delivery platforms during active total skin irradiation sessions, and ECP platforms during active leukapheresis and photopheresis circuit procedures.
Immediate alerting during infusion sessions: Romidepsin infusion and QT telemetry monitoring, mogamulizumab infusion and SCAR surveillance, brentuximab vedotin infusion and toxicity monitoring, and conditioning regimen administration during allo-HSCT conditioning.
Immediate business-hours alert: Sézary cell quantification and flow cytometry, TCR clonality and CD30/CCR4 molecular diagnostics, phototherapy dose tracking and cumulative dose management, and systemic therapy prescribing and toxicity management platforms. Alert the moment these fail during active clinical encounters.
Sustained-failure alert (10–15 minutes): Long-term skin burden tracking (mSWAT), serial phototherapy cumulative dose records, secondary skin cancer surveillance scheduling, and clinical trial enrollment platforms.
30-day advance warning: SSL certificates across all domains.
Vigilmon's multi-region monitoring confirms CTCL platform availability from the geographies where specialized oncodermatology and phototherapy centers are concentrated — important for platforms serving patients traveling to high-volume CTCL programs with TSEBT and ECP capabilities unavailable at regional dermatology practices.
Status Page for CTCL Care Team Communication
A real-time status page gives dermatologists and oncodermatologists managing NB-UVB and PUVA phototherapy, radiation oncologists delivering TSEBT, hematology-oncologists managing romidepsin, mogamulizumab, and brentuximab vedotin, apheresis medicine teams operating extracorporeal photopheresis, transplant physicians coordinating allo-HSCT evaluation, and flow cytometry laboratories reporting Sézary cell counts immediate platform visibility without requiring inbound IT support contact. During a phototherapy scheduling platform outage on the day of a scheduled NB-UVB session for a Stage IB MF patient in the dose escalation phase — where the treatment nurse cannot access the previous session dose, the escalated dose cannot be confirmed, and the phototherapy cabinet cannot be set without dose documentation — a status page enables immediate contingency protocol activation, ensuring that the session can be safely managed through alternative dose record access pathways without platform-dependent delay.
Include the status page URL in phototherapy clinic downtime procedures, TSEBT treatment fallback protocols, ECP emergency access workflows, and systemic therapy irAE contingency procedures.

Conclusion
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma technology platforms are embedded in clinical decisions where phototherapy dose management platform availability during a NB-UVB session for a Stage IB mycosis fungoides patient in the sixteenth week of their dose escalation course — where the prior session dose record determining this session's target dose cannot be retrieved because the phototherapy management system is unavailable, the treatment nurse cannot confirm whether the previous session dose was 285 or 312 mJ/cm² and therefore cannot safely escalate to the 340 mJ/cm² target, and the phototherapy cabinet cannot be set for a session where an overdose would cause a significant UVB burn while an underdose would interrupt the progressive therapeutic response built over sixteen weeks of twice-weekly treatment — illustrates the direct clinical consequence that phototherapy dose documentation failures impose on a treatment modality whose effectiveness is inseparable from the cumulative dose record accuracy that platform availability underpins; where Sézary cell quantification platform availability during the weekly peripheral blood monitoring for a Stage IVA1 Sézary syndrome patient receiving biweekly ECP — where the attending hematologist-oncologist needs the current Sézary cell count (CD4+/CD26− absolute per μL) compared against the nadir achieved after six months of photopheresis to determine whether the clinical response warrants ECP continuation or transition to mogamulizumab, and where that treatment decision cannot proceed while the flow cytometry result is trapped in an inaccessible laboratory information system — illustrates the treatment escalation consequence that flow cytometry platform unavailability creates in a chronic disease where Sézary count trending is the primary objective response metric; and where ECP platform availability during the active leukapheresis collection phase of a two-day ECP cycle for a Stage IIIb erythrodermic MF patient with aggressive skin disease — where the apheresis circuit is collecting mononuclear cells for the 8-MOP/UVA exposure step, the collection system requires continuous monitoring for anticoagulation adequacy, cell collection yield, and circuit integrity, and a platform failure during active collection requires immediate circuit management and session rescheduling that disrupts the biweekly ECP cadence critical for maintaining the immunomodulatory effect in erythrodermic disease — illustrates the immediate procedural safety consequence that ECP platform failures impose on the most complex outpatient procedure in CTCL management. A phototherapy platform that fails when the treatment team needs cumulative dose records to safely escalate a patient's sixteenth NB-UVB session, a Sézary cell quantification platform inaccessible when the oncologist needs response metrics to decide between ECP continuation and mogamulizumab escalation, an ECP platform unavailable when the apheresis team needs circuit monitoring during active leukapheresis collection — these are not IT incidents. They are clinical disruptions in the management of a chronic primary skin malignancy where phototherapy safety, disease response monitoring, and apheresis procedural continuity each impose non-negotiable platform availability requirements across a disease course that may span decades.
Uptime monitoring gives CTCL tech teams the detection capability to identify failures within seconds, trigger immediate clinical downtime procedures, and demonstrate to oncodermatology programs, phototherapy clinics, apheresis medicine centers, radiation oncology facilities, and compliance auditors that platform operational reliability matches the phototherapy safety, Sézary monitoring, ECP procedural management, systemic toxicity surveillance, and multi-decade surveillance obligations of modern cutaneous T-cell lymphoma care.
