title: Actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma: uncommon treatments.
abstract: This contribution will discuss the treatment of actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinoma using methods that are not routinely established but have been used for a long period. The purpose of this article is simply to expand the reader's knowledge of what has been or could be used to treat such lesions. This article should not be interpreted as advocating the use of the methods discussed because there are obviously efficient well-established treatments for these lesions.
