[Chemical carcinogens and their relevance for cancer induction in man with special reference to dermatological problems (author's transl)].

Abstract

The problem of iatrogenic carcinogenesis is treated with special reference to dermatological dispensings. The problem of arsenic as a drug, of cytostatic drugs, antimycotic drugs and external dispensings is discussed. The chance to induce cancer by medical treatment in dermatology is considered to be very low since arsenic has been eliminated.
