Follow-up examinations of 84 psoriatics after 4 or 5 years of PUVA therapy revealed that keratoses or skin tumours developed in 8 cases. 6 of these patients showed typical arsenic keratoses and 5 of them had arsenic intake decades ago. PUVA therapy does not modify the clinical behaviour of arsenic carcinogenesis.
