Light therapy restores immune balance in rare skin cancer, small study finds
NCT ID NCT07235813
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looked at 16 people with mycosis fungoides, a rare skin lymphoma, and measured a protein called IL-35 that can suppress the immune system. Before treatment, IL-35 levels were higher in patients than in healthy people. After phototherapy (light treatment), IL-35 levels dropped back to normal, suggesting the therapy helps restore immune balance. The findings may lead to a new way to monitor disease activity.
