Increased risk of skin cancers in mucous membrane pemphigoid: a large-scale matched cohort study of 117 million US individuals
These findings underscore the importance of regular skin cancer screening and risk-based monitoring in MMP patients, particularly those with severe disease. Integrating dermatologic surveillance into routine care could facilitate early detection and timely intervention. Additionally, these results highlight the need for further research into cancer risks in other autoimmune blistering diseases, helping to refine long-term management strategies.
