Adult-onset cancer survivors, especially those with hematologic malignancies, have an increased rate of comorbid psoriasis, researchers reported in a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
The investigators conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study to determine the incidence of psoriasis among survivors of adult-onset cancer. Data were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database and included patients aged 50 years or older who had undergone cancer screening. Patients who had a history of psoriasis were excluded.
