Actinic keratosis metrics. [PDF]
AbstractActinic keratosis (AK) is a common precancerous skin condition predominantly affecting older males with fair skin and significant UV exposure. The clinical significance of AK is related to its potential for malignant transformation and progression to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

The Genomic Landscape of Actinic Keratosis [PDF]
Actinic keratoses (AKs) are lesions of epidermal keratinocyte dysplasia and are precursors for invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Identifying the specific genomic alterations driving the progression from normal skin to skin with AK to skin with invasive cSCC is challenging because of the massive UVR-induced mutational burden ...

Virtual consultation for actinic keratosis [PDF]
Actinic keratoses (AK) are keratotic lesions presenting on chronically ultraviolet-exposed skin. The rate of malignant progression of a single AK to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains uncertain, with reports ranging from 0.025%–20%.1,2 Patients receiving long-term immunosuppressive medications are at higher risk of developing AK.3 The estimated ...

Explainable human‐in‐the‐loop healthcare image information quality assessment and selection
Abstract Smart healthcare applications cannot be separated from healthcare data analysis and the interactive interpretability between data and model. A human‐in‐the‐loop active learning approach is introduced to reduce the cost of healthcare data labelling by evaluating the information quality of unlabelled medical data and then screening the high ...

Randomized trial of calcipotriol combined with 5-fluorouracil for skin cancer precursor immunotherapy [PDF]
BACKGROUND. Actinic keratosis is a precursor to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Long treatment durations and severe side effects have limited the efficacy of current actinic keratosis treatments.

Actinic keratoses show variable histological basal growth patterns - a proposed classification adjustment [PDF]
Background: Common histological classification schemes of actinic keratoses (AK) do not evaluate growth patterns at basal epidermal aspects of AK. Until now, the importance of basal epidermal growth patterns of AK has not been studied. Objective: To
