Mycosis fungoides is a form of skin cancer. It first needs to be confirmed by histopathology and immune markers. Treatment depends on the stage of presentation. Dermatologist is the primary physician handling the cases if mycosis fungoides. If needed, he will ask for oncologist opinion and recommendations. Regarding prognosis, it again depends on stage of diagnosis and other associated comorbidities.
