Remission of Psoriasis in a Patient with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Sorafenib.

BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated and angiogenesis-dependent disease. Activated keratinocytes in psoriatic lesions produce pro-angiogenic cytokines, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which binds to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and promotes cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) is a molecular multikinase inhibitor ...
