Application of ruxolitinib (RUX) cream for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) demonstrates prompt antipruritic and anti-inflammatory effects, with superior efficacy over vehicle, according to the results from two phase III trials. RUX cream is also well-tolerated and has no safety findings suggestive of systemic Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition.

Immunosuppression predicts poor outcomes in Mohs-treated SCC patients

04 Sep 2021

Perineural invasion, poor differentiation, and immunosuppression are associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), but Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is still an effective treatment, according to a study.
