Authors' recommendations: There is insufficient evidence to support the superiority of 5-FU over imiquimod for the treatment of AK given the conflicting results from two small trials. The systematic review identified no RCTs comparing 5-FU or imiquimod with ingenol mebutate, and given the between-trial heterogeneity, any comparisons between treatments that have not been directly compared should be made with caution.
