Patients with multiple actinic keratoses (AKs) should be treated with field-directed therapy. Such treatments challenge patients' adherence due to out-of-pocket costs, length of treatment and severity of local skin reactions (LSRs). Effective physician-patient communication (PPC) may buffer therapy-related distress, thus improving quality of life, treatment satisfaction and adherence.

Abstract
Patients with multiple actinic keratoses (AKs) should be treated with field-directed therapy. Such treatments challenge patients' adherence due to out-of-pocket costs, length of treatment and severity of local skin reactions (LSRs). Effective physician-patient communication (PPC) may buffer therapy-related distress, thus improving quality of life, treatment satisfaction and adherence.File in questo prodotto:
