Manage episode 380315992 series 2968275
Cutaneous Lymphoma (CL) or lymphoma of the skin, is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can appear as a rash or bumps on the skin. In this episode we speak to four distinguished guests about cutaneous lymphoma, its signs and symptoms, how it is different from other skin cancers, how it can progress if not discovered early and treatment options.
In this episode, MSCAN speaks with Dr Carrie Van der Weyden, a Consultant Haematologist and researcher based at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne in their Multidisciplinary Skin Lymphoma Clinic. We also chat with A/Prof Chris McCormack, who has over 25 years of dermatology experience and is a leading dermatological expert in cutaneous lymphoma. A/Prof Belinda Campbell provides her expertise and knowledge, as the Deputy Director of Radiation Oncology at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Honorary Clinical Associate Professor at The University of Melbourne. And finally MSCAN talks with Odette Buelens, an established Nurse Practitioner specilaising in skin lymphoma and is deeply involved in patient care with those with cutaneous lymphoma.
