Primary cytotoxic T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a rare subset of aggressive, poor-prognosis T-cell lymphomas targeting the skin; they include primary cutaneous γδT-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous VD8+ aggressive epidermotropic T cell lymphoma (PCAETCL), and cytotoxic CTCL not otherwise specified. Lee et al report that all 3 subsets have JAK-STAT activation, but PCAETCL uniquely carries JAK2 gene fusions that may render them especially susceptible to JAK inhibitors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
