Expert Recommendations on Facilitating Personalized Approaches to Long-term Management of Actinic Keratosis: The Personalizing Actinic Keratosis Treatment (PAKT) Project.

ABSTRACT: Actinic keratoses are pre-malignant skin lesions that require personalized care, a lack of which may result in poor treatment adherence and suboptimal outcomes. Current guidance on personalizing care is limited, notably in terms of tailoring treatment to individual patient priorities and goals and supporting shared decision-making between healthcare professionals and patients. The aim of the Personalizing Actinic Keratosis Treatment panel, comprised of 12 dermatologists, was to identify current unmet needs in care and, using a modified Delphi approach, develop recommendations to support personalized, long-term management of actinic keratoses lesions. Panellists generated recommendations by voting on consensus statements. Voting was blinded and consensus was defined as ≥ 75% voting 'agree'
