Actinic Keratosis (AK) is the most common pre-cancer that forms on skin damaged by chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Actinic Keratosis is also known as solar keratosis. Actinic keratosis forms like a patch on the skin. The patches usually appear on areas of your body that are often exposed to the sun, such as your face, hands and arms, ears, scalp and legs. Sometimes actinic keratosis can turn into squamous cell skin cancer. For this reason, the lesions are often called pre-cancer. Patches are not life-threatening. But if patches are found and treated early, they do not have the chance to develop into skin cancer. Actinic Keratosis can affect:
- People with pale skin, blonde or red hair, and blue, green, or gray eyes
- People with darker skin, hair, and eyes who have been exposed to UV rays without protection
- Older adults
- People with suppressed immune systems (due to chemotherapy, AIDS, organ transplant, or other causes)
- People with rare conditions that make the skin very sensitive to UV rays, such as albinism or xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of drug approvals for the treatment of actinic keratosis from regulatory bodies is expected to drive growth of the global actinic keratosis market during the forecast period. For instance, In November 2017, Perrigo Company plc, an Ireland based healthcare company, had announced that the company had received tentative approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the generic version of Picato Gel (ingenol mebutate) 0.05%. It is indicated for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis.
High incidence rate of skin cancer is expected to drive growth of the global actinic keratosis market. For instance, according to American Academy of Dermatology Association 2022, Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. It is estimated that approximately 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. It is estimated that the overall incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) increased by 145% between 1976-1984 and between 2000-2010, and the overall incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) increased 263% over that same period.
