NCT ID NCT07538960
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at the medical records of 350 adults diagnosed with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of skin cancer, treated at Hospital México in Costa Rica between 2019 and 2025. Researchers aim to describe the patients' backgrounds, the treatments they received, and their outcomes. No new treatments are being tested; instead, the goal is to gather information that could help improve future care.

Who is studied
he study population will consist of adult patients (≥18 years) of both sexes with a confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, established through clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical criteria, and documented in EDUS at the Dermatology Service of Hospital México between January 2019 and December 2025. Patients must have at least one recorded dermatological evaluation during the study period and must have received some form of treatment, including skin-directed therapies (phototherapy, topical treatments, localized radiotherapy) and/or systemic therapies. Patients with insufficient or incomplete clinical records that prevent adequate diagnostic classification, staging, therapeutic characterization, or evaluation of clinical evolution will be excluded, as well as those with a presumptive diagnosis without histopathological confirmation, duplicate or inconsistent records, patients attended outside the study period, those outside the defined age range, and patients.
