Biomarkers in Cutaneous Lymphoma

Dear Colleagues,

Cutaneous lymphoma are a heterogenous group of primary lymphoid malignancies that preferentially traffic to the skin.  The clinical manifestations can be exceedingly diverse and  benign mimickers challenge accurate diagnosis and impact on a  decision in treatment choice.  The recent advances in high resolution molecular and genetic characterization of cutaneous lymphomas have led to the identification of novel genes and their proteins that can serve as biomarkers to enhance diagnostic accuracy.  These genes include unexpected non-immune genes with unclear roles in oncologic and clinical manifestations.  The goal is to identify markers that can increase specificity and  potentially serve as actionable targets for novel therapy.  The identification of biomarkers will further enhance understanding in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous lymphomas.  This special issue on biomarkers in cutaneous lymphoma represent recent progress that have reveal the diverse changes at gene expression level and genetic and epigenetic changes in cutaneous lymphoma. 

We are looking forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.
