How mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome are treated There are treatments for all patients with mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
In cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, special rays of tiny particles called electrons are commonly used to treat all of the skin. This is called total skin electron beam radiation therapy, or TSEB radiation therapy. Electron beam radiation may also be given to smaller areas of the skin. This kind of radiation only goes into the outer layers of the skin. Another type of radiation uses x-rays to kill cancer cells.
