SEQUENTIAL TREATMENT OF CALCITRIOL AND METHYL AMINOLEVULINATE-DAYLIGHT PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE ACTINIC KERATOSES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITIES.
Abstract
Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely used effective treatment for actinic keratoses (AKs). However, cure rates are significantly reduced for AKs on acral sites. We compared the sequential regimen of topical calcitriol and methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) daylight-PDT (CAL-DL-PDT) versus placebo and MAL-DL-PDT (P-DL-PDT) on acral AKs in an intra-individual, randomized trial.
