Article Synopsis
- Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is linked to a higher risk of skin cancers such as Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and pleomorphic sarcoma (PDS) compared to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
- A study analyzed data from 146 AFX/PDS patients and 438 SCC/BCC controls over a seven-year period, finding that HCTZ use was significantly more common among AFX/PDS patients (44.5% vs. 25.3%).
- The findings suggest that HCTZ may be a risk factor for developing AFX/PDS, with diabetes mellitus also linked to an increased risk.
