The association between psoriasis and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) remains inconsistent despite biologic plausibility. Immunosuppressive effects of systemic psoriasis treatments have also been hypothesized to contribute to the development of NMSC as well. However, data assessing the risk of NMSC associated with immunomodulatory psoriasis medications, particularly newer biologic therapies, are limited.

Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted on the effectiveness of several CAMs for pruritus.
Article Synopsis
- Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an effective treatment for melanoma in situ (MIS), but inconsistent surgical techniques make it hard to apply current data broadly.
- To standardize MMS techniques for MIS in future studies, a modified Delphi method was used, involving expert input through voting on various surgical approaches.
- The study generated 8 consensus recommendations, with five agreed upon in the first round and the others in the second, aimed at providing uniform guidelines to improve future clinical trials.
