[Genotoxic risk of Goeckerman's therapy of psoriasis. Pilot study--children].
Goeckerman's therapy of psoriasis includes combined exposure to therapeutic tar and UV-B radiation. In a pilot study of (12 children) a level of genotoxic risk of the therapy was evaluated by chromosomal aberration of peripheral lymphocytes. Results of the pilot study suggest possible genotoxic risk of the therapy.
