Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014
The nurse explains that the major characteristic that differentiates cutaneous T-cell lymphoma from squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas is that cutaneous T-cell lymphoma:
1.   does not metastasize.
2.   has a cause unrelated to sun exposure.
3.   can be treated with radiation.
4.   can be treated topically.


This is for my medical nursing class

Correct: 2.   has a cause unrelated to sun exposure. 

Basal and Squamous are caused by UV exposure and T-cell is due to (well they think) age related genetic breakdown.

Cutaneous T-cell carcinoma appears in areas protected by the sun. All three neoplasms can metastasize and can be treated by radiation or topically.
