Intermittent leukapheresis: an adjunct to low-dose chemotherapy for Sézary syndrome
Abstract
Eleven patients with Sézary syndrome were treated with intermittent leukapheresis in addition to low-dose chlorambucil and prednisone. The results were as good as or better than those with chemotherapy alone. We believe the combined program with continuous leukapheresis to be optimal therapy but note that intermittent treatment offers some benefit for patients.
