The risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer [Mantel\u2013Haenszel risk ratio (MHRR) = 0.95; 95% CI 0.44\u20132.05] and melanoma (MHRR = 1.11; 95% CI 0.33\u20133.82) did not significantly increase after phototherapy in patients with vitiligo. In the subgroup analysis, we also found no significant association between phototherapy with narrowband UVB phototherapy specifically and risk of skin cancer in patients with vitiligo. There was no significant difference in risk of skin cancer between patients from Europe and those from East Asia and the risk was not affected by the number of narrowband UVB phototherapy sessions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that UV phototherapy is a safe treatment for vitiligo with no significant risk of skin cancer.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ced.15010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T17:14:39Z","timestamp":1636650879000},"page":"692-699","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Risk of skin cancer after ultraviolet phototherapy in patients with vitiligo: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Y.-H.","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital New Taipei City Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.-L.","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Taipei Medical University Shuang Ho Hospital New Taipei City Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology School of Medicine College of Medicine Taipei Medical University Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3608-1394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H.-C.","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Taipei Medical University Hospital Taipei Taiwan"},{"name":"Research Center of Big Data and Meta-Analysis Wan Fang Hospital Taipei Medical University Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012704193889100_ced15010-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2016.10.048","article-title":"New discoveries in the pathogenesis and classification of vitiligo","volume":"77","author":"Rodrigues","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"2023012704193889100_ced15010-bib-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.11.061","article-title":"Vitiligo: a comprehensive overview part I.
