Skin cancers under Janus kinase inhibitors: A World Health Organization drug safety database analysis.

Background: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are targeted therapies with a potential imunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effect, indicated in various dysimmune pathologies. Skin cancers have been reported to occur in patients treated with JAK inhibitors. However, drug safety in clinical trials did not confirm that risk, but these studies are performed on controlled population and in a limited time of follow up.
