The presence of koilocytes within actinic keratosis identifies those at high risk of developing keratinocyte carcinoma
Background: Keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) rates continue to increase despite current prevention strategies. Effective treatment of Actinic keratoses (AK) can reduce the risk of subsequent KC, However, the prevalence of AK precludes treating all individuals. Hence, further stratification is needed to better identify those patients at high risk of KC.
