The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of two treatments-cryotherapy and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-for actinic keratosis, a common skin condition caused by long-term sun exposure. Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal cells, and 5-FU is a topical cream applied to the skin to treat lesions by interfering with cell growth. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: - Which treatment, cryotherapy or 5-FU, is more effective in reducing the number of actinic keratosis lesions? - What are the side effects associated with each treatment? - How do these treatments impact patient satisfaction, cosmetic outcomes, and health-related quality of life? Participants will: - Undergo a baseline assessment where their demographics information such as age, sex, race, smoking status, and medical history are recorded, along with the number and severity of actinic keratosis lesions. - Receive both cryotherapy and 5-FU, with each treatment applied to different areas of their body. The area of the body to receive each treatment is decided by a random process (like flipping a coin). - Complete weekly surveys to monitor for side effects during and after the treatment period. - Return to the clinic for follow-up assessments at 3 months and 12 months.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Partial clearance rate | Proportion of patients with at least a 75% reduction in the number of baseline AK lesions within the selected treatment area | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Complete clearance rate | Proportion of patients with no clinically visible AK lesions (i.e., a 100% reduction in the number of baseline AK lesions) within the selected treatment area | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Percent reduction of AK lesions | Decrease in number AK lesions from baseline within the selected treatment area | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Rate of progression to keratinocyte carcinoma | Proportion of AK lesions within the treatment area that progress to keratinocyte carcinoma | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Recurrence rate | Proportion of participants with recurrent or new lesions within the treatment area | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Patient satisfaction | Proportion of patients who would choose the same treatment again and if they would recommend it to others | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Health-Related Quality of Life | Skindex-29 questionnaire | 3 months and 12 months | |
Secondary | Cosmetic outcome | The cosmetic outcome will be evaluated using a 4-point scale (1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = moderate, and 4 = poor) by an investigator who is blinded to the treatment allocation | 3 months and 12 months |
