Does isotretinoin increase the risk of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not considered a potential cause of cancer and is used to treat some malignancies and may even prevent some cancers. However, before taking it discuss risks with your prescribing physician or dermatologist who has more experience with this medication.
