Abstract
This article reviews the findings of Wu et al. on the risk of malignancy in psoriasis patients treated with long-term TNF-α inhibitors (TNFi). While the study found no significant increase in the risk of most cancers, it highlighted a higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, in patients with psoriatic arthritis. The article discusses the clinical implications for psoriasis patients with a history of malignancy, advocating for a personalised treatment approach, vigilant monitoring, and the need for further research to better understand the relationship between biologic therapy and cancer recurrence.
