Treatment of Leukemia Cutis: Systemic Therapy Directed at the Underlying Disease

Leukemia cutis is a direct cutaneous infiltration by leukemic cells — a local manifestation of the underlying systemic leukemic process. Clinical management is determined by the specific subtype of leukemia driving the cutaneous involvement.

Management centres on systemic therapy appropriate to the specific leukemia subtype. The full treatment algorithm, sequencing, and regimen details are available in the structured protocol.

Clinical Goals: Complete or partial response of cutaneous infiltrations, occurring in conjunction with hematologic remission.
