The diagnosis of early‐stage mycosis fungoides: Views held by experts and non‐experts in cutaneous lymphoma
Non-specialists assume that a delayed diagnosis impairs therapeutic efficacy and prognosis in MF, while specialists primarily suspect negative effects on patients' health-related quality of life. Our study reveals an unmet need to promote education and increase awareness among dermatologists regarding the impact of early-stage MF on patient management.
