Abstract

This chapter focuses on the use of retinoids in the chemoprevention of keratinocyte carcinomas (KC) and will aim to demystify their use in the clinical arena by offering a practical approach to optimize clinical benefits and minimize adverse effects. The last decade has ushered in a handful of agents with demonstrated efficacy in the prevention of KC including vismodegib, sirolimus, DNA repair enzymes, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, and capecitabine which will be discussed. Topical imiquimod, 5-fluoruracil (5-FU), and photodynamic therapy have been detailed elsewhere (see Chaps. 2 and 4). Vismodegib is covered in detail in Chap. 22.
