Zusammenfassung:A 3 1/2-year follow-up study of 198 patients treated with photochemotherapy (PUVA) revealed a total of 18 carcinomas developed in 11 patients. A subgroup of 38 psoriatics previously treated with MTX was compared with a control group of 101 psoriatics treated with MTX-but never with PUVA.
