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, nota-bly 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 modi-fied Delphi approach, develop recommendations to support personalized, long-term management of actinic ke-ratoses lesions. Panellists generated recommendations by voting on consensus statements. Voting was blinded and consensus was defined as ≥ 75% voting ’agree’ or ’strongly agree’. Statements that reached consensus were used to develop a clinical tool, of which, the goal was to improve understanding of disease chronicity, and the need for long-term, repeated treatment cy-cles. The tool highlights key decision stages across the patient journey and captures the panellist’s ratings of treatment options for attributes prioritized by patients. The expert recommendations and the clinical tool can be used to facilitate patient-centric management of ac-tinic keratoses in daily practice, encompassing patient priorities and goals to set realistic treatment expectations and improve care outcomes.
