Actinic keratoses are flat dermatological neoformations or oexofistic, present mostly in photoexposed areas, of chronic evolution and generally asymptomatic, being the earliest expression of squamous cell carcinoma, produced by chronic sun exposure in people mainly fair-skinned. A prospective longitudinal study of therapeutic intervention was conducted. The universe consisted of 130 patients and the sample consisted of 116 patients diagnosed with actinic con queratosis who concomitated with basal cell carcinoma who attended the oncodermatology consultation of the "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes" Provincial Teaching Hospital of Bayamo, in the period from January 2019 to December 2020; with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of treatment with HeberFERON® in actinic keratosis associated with basal cell carcinoma. To assess the association between the variables, the Mantel Chi-Square test was used. The male sex, ages between 61 and 80 years, cutaneous phototype II of the Fitzpatrick classification, which presented more than 20 lesions of actinic keratosis, of frequent location in the forearms, were frequent in the study. HeberFERON was effective and a favorable response to treatment was achieved from the clinical point of view and by dermoscopy. Common side effects following administration of HeberFERON® were fever, followed by malaise and pain at the injection site.
