Objectives: Skin cancer prevention with PDT

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been established as an effective treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and actinic keratosis.
The UV photodamage preceding AK and non-melanoma skin cancer may have taken place decades before clinical lesions appear.
Primary and secondary preemptive PDT treatment of skin areas without visible clinical lesions is clinically effective - both in reduction of the number of lesions and in delaying the time to first new lesion in immunocompetent patients as well as in organ transplant recipients.

Objectives: To present feasibility and efficacy of chemical peels to treat precancerous skin lesions and certain types of skin cancer in specific patients groups

Introduction: Chemical peels, available in a number of formulations, have long been used to
treat a variety of aesthetic and medical skin conditions.
Actinic keratoses are a common premalignant cutaneous neoplasm induced mostly by photodamage. Treating actinic keratosis early can prevent it progression to skin cancer.

Materials / method: Personal experience and literature review

Results: Medium and deep chemical peels can be used to treat premalignant skin lesions and certain skin cancer types in specific patients groups

Conclusion: Chemical peels are an efficacious and affordable treatment option for field treatment of AKs. With improved patient tolerance and adherence, chemical peels are an attractive option for field therapy of AKs for both
dermatologists and patients
