RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Studies demonstrating the potential utility of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) have been performed under experimental conditions. OBJECTIVE: To provide an overview of RCM practice in real-life. METHODS: A multicenter, prospective study carried out in 10 university dermatology departments in France. RESULTS: Overall, 410 patients were enrolled. One-half of the patients (48%) were referred by private practice dermatologists. They were referred for diagnosis (84.9%) or presurgical mapping (13%). For diagnosis, the lesions were located on the face (62%), arms and legs (14.9%), and trunk (13.6%), and presurgical mapping was almost exclusively on the face (90.9%). Among those referred for diagnosis, the main indication was suspicion of a skin tumor (92.8%). Of these, 50.6% were spared biopsies after RCM. When RCM indicated surgery, histology revealed malignant lesions in 72.7% of cases. The correlation between RCM and histopathology was high, with a correlation rate of 82.76% and a kappa coefficient of 0.73 (0.63; 0.82). LIMITATIONS: This study was performed in the settings of French tertiary referral hospitals. CONCLUSION: This study shows that in real-life RCM can be integrated into the workflow of a public private network, which enables a less invasive diagnostic procedure for patients.

Background: Sézary syndrome is an extremely rare and fatal cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Mogamulizumab, an anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody, has recently been associated with increased progression-free survival in a randomized clinical trial in CTCL. We aimed to evaluate OS and prognostic factors in Sézary syndrome, including treatment with mogamulizumab, in a real-life setting. Methods: Data from patients with Sézary (ISCL/EORTC stage IV) and pre-Sézary (stage IIIB) syndrome diagnosed from 2000 to 2020 were obtained from 24 centers in Europe. Age, disease stage, plasma lactate dehydrogenases levels, blood eosinophilia at diagnosis, large-cell transformation and treatment received were analyzed in a multivariable Cox proportional hazard ratio model. This study has been registered in ClinicalTrials (SURPASSe01 study: NCT05206045). Findings: Three hundred and thirty-nine patients were included (58% men, median age at diagnosis of 70 years, Q1-Q3, 61-79): 33 pre-Sézary (9.7% of 339), 296 Sézary syndrome (87.3%), of whom 10 (2.9%) had large-cell transformation. One hundred and ten patients received mogamulizumab. Median follow-up was 58 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 53-68). OS was 46.5% (95% CI, 40.6%-53.3%) at 5 years. Multivariable analysis showed that age ≥ 80 versus <50 (HR: 4.9, 95% CI, 2.1-11.2, p = 0.001), and large-cell transformation (HR: 2.8, 95% CI, 1.6-5.1, p = 0.001) were independent and significant factors associated with reduced OS. Mogamulizumab treatment was significantly associated with decreased mortality (HR: 0.34, 95% CI, 0.15-0.80, p = 0.013). Interpretation: Treatment with mogamulizumab was significantly and independently associated with decreased mortality in Sézary syndrome.
