Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a well described and widely practiced treatment for actinic keratoses (AKs) on the head and face. Less is known about its use for AKs on upper extremities, that can be challenging for the dermatologist. The aim of our study was to compare the combination of topical tacalcitol before 5-ALA-PDT vs conventional 5-ALA-PDT for acral AKs in a prospective, randomized, intra-individual clinical study.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a well described and widely practiced treatment for actinic keratoses (AKs) on the head and face. Less is known about its use for AKs on upper extremities, that can be challenging for the dermatologist. The aim of our study was to compare the combination of topical tacalcitol before 5-ALA-PDT vs conventional 5-ALA-PDT for acral AKs in a prospective, randomized, intra-individual clinical study.File in questo prodotto:
