Trotz einer großen Auswahl wirksame Medikamente: Psoriatiker scheinen immer noch untertherapiert zu sein.

Hintergrund Und Ziele: Durch die Entwicklung neuer anti-psoriatischer Medikamente und verbesserte Strukturen zu deren flächendeckender Einführung hat sich die medizinische Versorgung von Psoriasis-Patienten deutlich verbessert. In dieser Studie haben wir die tatsächliche Inanspruchnahme des Gesundheitswesens untersucht und Gründe für die Unzufriedenheit der Betroffenen ermittelt.

Erwachsene mit schwerer Neurodermitis (aktuelle/frühere antientzündliche Systemtherapie und/oder objektiver SCORAD ≥ 40) werden über einen Zeitraum von 24 Monaten prospektiv beobachtet.

[Immunotherapy of uveal melanoma: vaccination against cancer. Multicenter adjuvant phase 3 vaccination study using dendritic cells laden with tumor RNA for large newly diagnosed uveal melanoma].

Uveal melanomas are the most common malignant tumors of the eye. With modern molecular biological diagnostic methods, such as chromosome 3 typing and gene expression analysis, these tumors can be categorized into highly aggressive (monosomy 3, class II) and less aggressive forms. This molecular biological stratification is primarily important for determining the risk of these tumors as no therapy is currently available that is able to prevent or delay metastases.
