Abstract

This article reviews if local immunosuppression of atopic dermatitis is associated with an increased risk of cancer - as implicated by a warning issued by the FDA and EMEA health authorities because systemic immunosuppression of transplanted patients leads to a significant increase of non-melanoma skin cancer and lymphoma. So far, no studies support that the use of topical immunosuppression increases the risk of local or systemic cancer.
