Article Synopsis
- Erythroderma is a serious skin condition that leads to redness and scaling affecting more than 90% of the body and is studied for its link to cancers, especially in patients over 65.
- A study at the National University Hospital reviewed records of 74 patients with erythroderma over 2.5 years to understand the prevalence and causes, finding that most had underlying skin conditions, but some also had associated malignancies.
- The findings suggest a higher rate of cancer in elderly patients with erythroderma, highlighting the importance of screening for malignancy in this vulnerable population to prevent potential health risks.
