Abstract
Background
Biologicals targeting interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 improve quality of life in psoriasis and other chronic autoimmune disorders with a favorable safety profile. However, current guidelines do not recommend their use in patients with recent oncologic history due to limited evidence.
Objective
To understand the impact of IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors on cancer development, progression, and recurrence by systematically reviewing available literature.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Results
Most studies investigating the use of IL-23 and IL-17 blockers did not find a higher incidence of cancer compared to the general population. One study observed no relapse in patients with a history of cancer.
Limitations
The systematic review is limited due to variations in study designs and outcomes, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive synthesis and comparison between studies. Furthermore, small sample sizes were notable.
Conclusion
Preclinical studies suggest that treating psoriasis with IL-17 or IL-23 blockers is safe, also in patients witch active cancer or a history of it. Pharmacovigilance data show no increased malignancy rate in patients treated with these treatment modalities. However, data on relapse in patients with a history or active malignancy are limited.
