Actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition, is increasingly common due to sun exposure and aging. Early detection and sun protection are key to preventing progression to squamous cell carcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common premalignant skin lesion caused by atypical epidermal keratinocyte proliferation.
  • The prevalence of AK is increasing globally, influenced by intrinsic and environmental risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, risk factors, and management of actinic keratosis.
  • To emphasize the link between AK, ultraviolet radiation exposure, and the risk of squamous cell carcinoma development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on actinic keratosis prevalence, risk factors, and clinical management.
  • Analysis of the relationship between sun exposure, aging, and AK progression.

Main Results:

  • Ultraviolet radiation exposure is the primary risk factor for actinic keratosis.

  • Effective sun protection significantly reduces the risk of developing AK and its progression to squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Not all AK lesions progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Actinic keratosis diagnosis warrants annual dermatological screening for skin cancers.
    • A comprehensive public health strategy may be beneficial for managing the economic impact of actinic keratosis.
