Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”) remains a cancer with limited treatment options, persistent symptoms and long-term quality-of-life challenges for patients, even decades after its classification as a distinct disease. Despite medical advances in oncology, many people living with CTCL continue to cycle through therapies that offer only partial relief or introduce new…
