Guidelines for the management of actinic keratoses.
These guidelines stemmed from a consensus meeting held by the British Photobiology Group (BPG) in 1999. Following this meeting one of the authors (J.M.M.) was invited to draw up guidelines for the management of actinic keratoses by the British Association of Dermatologists Therapy Guidelines and Audit Subcommittee.

There is an estimated prevalence of about 15 percent among ...

This drug is used to treat some solid cancers, particularly advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

Actinic keratoses are thought to be carcinomas in situ, which can progress to squamous cell carcinomas. The decision to treat can be based on cosmetic reasons; symptom relief; or, most importantly, the prevention of malignancy and metastasis. Treat...

Many options are available with variabl...
