Intralesional and Laser-Assisted 5-Fluorouracil in Dermatologic Disease: A Systematic Review.

DISCUSSION: Intralesional and laser-assisted 5-fluorouracil are used in a variety of dermatologic disease processes with a wide range of efficacy and levels of evidence. Based on extent and level of evidence, our disease-specific systematic review found that the evidence is strongest for intralesional 5-FU use in the treatment of keloids, hypertrophic scars, and keratoacanthomas. This review serves as a comprehensive summary of intralesional and laser-assisted 5-fluorouracil use in dermatology. <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2018;17(3):274-280.</em></p>.
