Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Actinic Keratosis: A Network Meta-Analysis
The results of this NMA suggest that AFL-MAL-LED-PDT may be the superior choice for achieving complete clearance of AK lesions. PDT using LED as the light source and ALA as the photosensitizer may be more effective for the treatment of AK. However, more RCTs are needed to verify the results of this analysis.
