| Summary, etc. | Think psoriasis is just a skin disease that can be managed by one of the many<br/>treatment options? If you are saying to yourself why another book on psoriasis, then this book is a must read. Psoriasis affects 7.5 million Americans and<br/>an estimated 2–3 % of the world’s population. While we at the National<br/>Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) have welcomed several therapeutic advances in<br/>the last decade, research still shows nearly 50 % of patients with the disease<br/>are under-treated. Nearly the same percentage reports dissatisfaction, for a<br/>myriad of reasons, with the treatment that they are on.<br/>Psoriasis is a complex, autoimmune disease ranging from mild to<br/>severe – even life threatening. Despite improving research around the disease, clinically speaking, we are unfortunately facing a shortage of welltrained medical dermatologists. Individuals with psoriasis face an<br/>increased risk for cardio-metabolic comorbidities, some cancers, depression, social isolation and often a sense of hopelessness. Advances in<br/>Psoriasis: A Multisystemic Guide, thanks to champions like the authors<br/>Drs. Jeffrey Weinberg and Mark Lebwohl, ensures that you will walk<br/>away with a more comprehensive understanding of this disease. It is my<br/>hope that you will also walk away with a commitment to helping remove<br/>the burden of the disease from your patients.<br/>There are chapters that cover each individual treatment option so that you<br/>best understand when to use topical therapies for a patient and when that<br/>same patient may need to be moved to a biologic or combination therapy.<br/>There are chapters such as Research Pipeline I, II and III that look at the<br/>exciting new therapies that may be coming to market soon. There are chapters<br/>that discuss phototherapy and laser therapy, treatment options the National<br/>Psoriasis Foundation fights to keep available for patients. One of the chapters<br/>is on the new advances in psoriatic arthritis and another on how to manage<br/>pediatric patients.<br/>The NPF is proud to have this book serve as a reference for some of our<br/>patient assistance resources. There are template letters included if you need<br/>assistance in getting your patient on a specific therapy such as phototherapy<br/>or biologics. There is a handy financial assistance resources sheet that has<br/>information and contact numbers for programs to help your patients afford<br/>their treatments. We hope these resources are valuable to you and help<br/>patients get the support they need. |
| Expansion of summary note | There are exciting treatment advances happening in psoriasis and expanding patient education. It is my hope that with Advances in Psoriasis: A<br/>Multisystemic Guide we will see a shift in the number of patients reaching the<br/>appropriate treatment for their disease so that they can lead happy and productive lives. |
