Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Cutaneous B-Cell Lymphomas: State of the Art and Perspectives.

Cancers 2020 June 9
Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are rare entities that develop primarily in the skin. They constitute a heterogeneous group that represents around a quarter of primary cutaneous lymphomas. The 2018 update of the World Health Organization-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO-EORTC) classification differentiates primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma with an indolent course from primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type with an aggressive behavior. The broad spectrum of clinical presentations and the disease course marked by frequent relapses are diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The classification of these diseases has been refined in recent years, which allows to better define their immunopathogenesis and specific management. In the present article, we review the main clinico-biological characteristics and the current therapeutic options of these three main subsets. Based on the recent therapeutic advances in nodal B-cell lymphomas, we focus on the development of novel treatment options applicable to primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas, including targeted therapies, combination treatments and immunotherapeutic approaches, and cover basic, translational and clinical aspects aiming to improve the treatment of cutaneous B-cell lymphomas.
