Abstract
The efficacy of topical steroids, chemotherapy, photochemotherapy, granz-ray therapy and electron beam therapy has already been established in the treatment of mycosis fungoides. In addition, the results of dermatological climatotherapy in the high Alpine region (Davos, 1,560 m) demonstrate that natural sun irradiation in this particular climate is very effective in treating mycosis fungoides. A total of 63% out of 128 treatment cycles of 84 patients suffering from mycosis fungoides went into remission, which lasted a maximum of at least 13 months. The best results are obtained in the early stages of mycosis fungoides and if climatotherapy lasts long enough and is repeated.
