Descripción
Sumario:Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common reason for consultation in both Primary Care and Specialised Care. It is the third or fourth most common reason for consultation in dermatology, accounting for up to 5-6% of patients attended. It has also been observed that its prevalence has been increasing in the last 10 years, compared to other dermatoses. This is also expected to continue to increase due to longer life expectancy, and by the changes in sun exposure habits since the middle of the last century. The aim of this article is "to update the concepts of AK, cancerisation field and to present the currently available therapeutic tools." (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
