Sezary syndrome patient-derived models allow drug selection for personalized therapy.

ABSTRACT: Current therapeutic approaches for Sézary syndrome (SS) do not achieve a significant improvement in long-term survival of patients, and they are mainly focused on reducing blood tumor burden to improve quality of life. Eradication of SS is hindered by its genetic and molecular heterogeneity. Determining effective and personalized treatments for SS is urgently needed. The present work compiles the current methods for SS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) generation and management to provide new perspectives on treatment for patients with SS. Mononuclear cells were recovered by Ficoll gradient separation from fresh peripheral blood of patients with SS (N = 11). A selected panel of 26 compounds that are inhibitors of the main signaling pathways driving SS pathogenesis, including NF-kB, MAPK, his
