Are you asking if anyone is using Skyrizi while also managing kidney or bladder cancer and undergoing chemotherapy?

This is a very specific and serious medical situation that requires direct guidance from your healthcare team. Skyrizi is a biologic that works by suppressing part of your immune system, which can increase infection risk and potentially interact with cancer treatments.

The search results don't include experiences from members using Skyrizi while undergoing chemotherapy for kidney or bladder cancer. However, it's important to know that people with psoriasis do have a higher risk of certain cancers and kidney disease.

Before starting or continuing any biologic like Skyrizi, especially while undergoing cancer treatment, you need a thorough evaluation from both your dermatologist and oncologist. They'll need to work together to determine if continuing Skyrizi is safe alongside your chemotherapy.

Your oncologist and dermatologist should coordinate your care to ensure your treatments don't negatively interact and that your immune system can handle both therapies safely.

Have you discussed this specific combination with both your cancer care team and your dermatologist?
