'As with people without psoriasis, making healthy lifestyle changes might lower the risk of cancer,' the co-author of the study told 'Newsweek.'
The chronic autoimmune disease, which makes skin cells grow faster than normal, can cause patches of thick, red skin and scales to develop on the body. These are most often found on the knees, scalp, elbows, lower back, face, soles of the feet and palms. It is usually treated using creams, but approaches like ultraviolet light therapy and drugs are also used.
Alex Trafford, co-author of the study in the Pharmacy Department at the U.K's Manchester University, told:"This study is significant as it brings together a large body of literature considering the association between psoriasis and cancer in order to provide a more concise picture. However, he acknowledged as each study was designed differently and there were disparities in the results, the study is somewhat limited.Addressing concerns those suffering from psoriasis may have due to the findings, Trafford said:"Although our study found an association between psoriasis and cancer, we also found considerable heterogeneity in the results.
