The observations of a beneficial effect of 5-fluorouracil-induced actinic keratoses (AK) inflammation led to the development of topical fluorouracil, a product registered for the management of AK. A conscientious surveillance of AK inflammation during chemotherapy may conceivably lead to the development of further drugs for treatment of AK. A number of other chemotherapeutics have thus been linked to similar reactions without ensuing development. Here, we describe two further cases linking chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel to possible anti-AK effects, identifying them as potential treatments. Whether multidrug chemotherapy leads to stronger AK inflammation or cure AK more successfully is currently unknown.

Introduction: Topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 5% or 4% cream, is recommended among first-line treatments for actinic keratosis (AK). Local skin reactions (LSRs) are an expected and transient response to treatment with 5-FU but can lead to treatment discontinuation when severe. This analysis aimed to investigate whether the severity of LSRs during the treatment was associated with lesion clearance assessed 4 weeks after completing treatment.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality clinically approved for several oncologic indications, including esophageal and endobronchial cancers, precancerous conditions including Barrett's esophagus and actinic keratosis, and benign conditions like age-related macular degeneration. While it is currently clinically underused, PDT is an area of significant research interest. Because PDT relies on the absorption of light energy by intrinsic or administered absorbers, the dosimetric quantity of interest is the absorbed energy per unit mass of tissue, proportional to the fluence rate of light in tissue.
