Characterization of the Microbiome in Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Investigators plan to perform a pilot study that aims to characterize the microbiome of human cutaneous T cell lymphoma patients and compare this to the microbiome of age and sex matched controls.
