Well this is certainly shocking since most of the drugs given to autoimmune patients are in classes that raise cancer risks by multitudes, and prohibit patients from exposure to direct sunlight. Same with chemo patients.
The article talks about "Ultraviolet (UV) light boxes, which emit only a narrow bandwidth of light that is not linked to skin cancer," so it's possible the UV treatment and the drugs can be combined.
