Photodynamic therapy with a 5 ‐ALA patch does not increase the risk of conversion of actinic keratoses into squamous cell carcinoma

ConclusionThe efficacy and the safety results show no observation of an increased risk for conversion of an AK into a SCC 2  years after a single 5‐ALA patch‐PDT. Additionally, the high clinical complete remission rate under routine conditions is comparable to the rates observed in the approval trials.
