Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the use of guselkumab for treating psoriasis in patients with a history of cancer, addressing the limited guidance available for such cases.
  • A total of 20 patients were followed over 52 weeks, with high effectiveness rates seen (87.5% achieving a low psoriasis severity score) and a 100% survival rate, including those with active cancers.
  • The findings suggest guselkumab is both effective and safe in this population, though the study is limited by its small sample size and retrospective design.*
