Abstract

The cutaneous T-cell lymphoma represents an expansion of malignant memory T cells that presents important predominance for the skin. These are diseases of long and indolent course, but that may affect significantly the quality of life. Chemokines are a large family of cytokines related to chemotaxis, survival and cellular homing. They act on their target cells via G protein-coupled receptors. This review will address the role of chemokines in the homing of tumor cells in the skin, and their subsequent relationship with infiltration of other organs, and also as they are a potential therapeutic target for the management of these diseases
