Immunohistopathological Study of c-FLIP Protein in Mycosis Fungoides

摘要

Background:Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the commonest variant of primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma with several clinicopathologic variants. Defective apoptotic mechanism may be important in the pathogenesis and progression of MF. c-FLIP protein is an important anti-apoptotic marker and chemotherapeutic resistant factor. This study aimed to evaluate the c-FLIP expression in MF and its role in the pathogenesis of MF.
