Objective: To develop a quantitative tool to assess severity of mycosis fungoides.Design: Prospective analysis of a cohort.Setting: University department of dermatology-based cutaneous lymphoma clinic.Patients: From 1984 to 1995, 1186 visits from 323 referred patients seen in a multidisciplinary cutaneous lymphoma program.Main Outcome Measures: Severity-weighted assessment tool (SWAT) scores were obtained for patients at each visit. This score represents the product of the percentage total body surface area (%TBSA) involvement of each lesion type (patch, plaque, and tumor or ulceration), multiplied by a weighting factor: SWAT = (patch %TBSAX x 1)+(plaque %TBSA x 2) + (tumor or ulcer %TBSA x 3). In addition, the standard measurements of TBSA involvement and physician global assessments were recorded for comparison.Results: The SWAT score correlated well with %TBSA (r=0.95, P
