This project aims to treat field cancerization ( pre-skin cancers) in a manner that will reduce the future pre-skin cancers and non-melanoma skin cancers in patients with significant photodamage.

This is 3 year prospective, randomized, controlled comparison of a single treatment with carbon dioxide laser resurfacing vs. carbon dioxide resurfacing plus autologous epidermal skin graft from a non sun exposed site vs. control.

Thirty subjects will receive treatment with each of the modalities.

The primary measures of efficacy are (a) count of the number of actinic keratosis and non melanoma skin cancers, (b) blinded evaluation of severity from standard digital photographs taken before and after the treatments, and (c) change in histology before and after treatment. Safety measures include (a) pain, (b) scarring, (c) wound healing, (d) and infection

For areas where participants at risk is 0, it is because there were no participants in these categories.

Region of Enrollment

There was only one patient enrolled in this study

Recruitment was very difficult for this study. Due to long study period, patient retention was also difficult. The study was terminated because of low recruitment. One subject started the study and was lost to follow-up, without completing the study.

Elizabeth Morehouse, Clinical Research Coordinator

Zero participants were analyzed because no patients finished this study. Patient recruitment was very difficult for this study, and therefore the study ended prematurely.
