Published: October 2024

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent dermatologic condition affecting both children and adults, and the debate surrounding its association as either a risk or protective factor for malignancies has garnered significant attention. Proposed mechanisms suggest that AD may act protectively against cancer formation through chronic immune system activation or create an inflammatory state conducive to cancer development. This review discusses the relationship between AD and various skin cancers, solid tumors, and hematologic malignancies. Additionally, the authors explore the impact of AD treatments, particularly novel biologic drugs targeting molecular pathways such as JAK-STAT, IL-4, and IL-13 in association with malignancies.

Numerous studies have reported on the types of aeroallergen sensitization in various pediatric allergic diseases, but limited data compared the types of aeroallergen sensitization across different pediatric allergic diseases. The aim of this study is to explore the nature and significance of aeroallergen sensitization in diverse pediatric allergic conditions. A comparative analysis was carried out on aeroallergen sensitization in children suffering from allergic diseases who visited the Otolaryngology, Respiratory, and Dermatology Departments between January 2019 and December 2023.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent, persistent inflammatory skin disorder distinguished by pruritic and irritated skin. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are specialized receptors that recognize specific patterns associated with pathogens and tissue damage, triggering an innate immune response that protects the host from invading pathogens. Previously, it was demonstrated that intradermal injection of the humanized anti-TLR2 monoclonal antibody (Ab) Tomaralimab effectively relieved AD-like skin inflammation in BALB/c mouse models exposed to house dust mite extracts.
