Glucocorticoids are used by an estimated 0.5% to 1.0% of adults for management of a range of conditions, from allergies and inflammatory diseases to cancer.1 Glucocorticoid use increases with age: more than 3% of adults older than 50 years and 5.2% older than 80 years use glucocorticoids.2 Despite the availability of a growing number of medications to modulate immune function and/or inflammation, evidence from the Danish National Patient Registry suggests that the prevalence of glucocorticoid use has remained remarkably stable for 17 years (1999-2016).3 Thus, any noteworthy adverse effects associated with glucocorticoid use could have substantial consequences not only for the individual, but also for public health.

In this issue of JAMA Dermatology, Morrison and colleagues1 present a scoping literature review of shared decision-making (SDM) in dermatology. The authors analyze 29 articles about SDM and/or patient decision aids for dermatologic conditions. Their analysis suggests that SDM is useful and desired by almost all patients and many clinicians, but more work should explore how best to implement SDM into routine dermatologic care.

To the Editor We read with interest the article by Cheraghlou et al1 regarding trends in the cost of and access to photodynamic therapy (PDT) among Medicare beneficiaries. The authors note an increase in the number of dermatologists offering PDT and an annual growth rate of approximately 4% in Medicare reimbursements for PDT. They suggest that increased use of PDT may reduce the occurrence of keratinocyte cancers, and thus lead to lower Medicare expenditures. However, the existing literature indicates that PDT is not the most cost-efficient, nor most effective, preventive measure for keratinocyte cancer or for actinic keratosis (AK). To date, to our knowledge, only 1 randomized trial has documented an AK treatment that is effective for keratinocyte cancer reduction.2

In Reply We appreciate the comments of Ms Lim and Dr Weinstock on our analysis1 of recent trends in the access and cost of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the Medicare population. While we agree that the present literature does not indicate that PDT is the most effective field therapy for actinic keratoses (AKs), it has several features that make it a valuable treatment modality for a subset of patients. In particular, the irritation caused by fluorouracil cream (FC) can be a substantial deterrent for patients' continued use of the medication. Indeed, studies directly comparing patient preferences between FC and PDT have found that most patients prefer PDT.2,3 As an in-office procedure, PDT also avoids certain challenges with adherence that are inherent to outpatient topical therapies and especially problematic for treatments that cause local irritation.

To the Editor I read the article by Schauder et al1 and thank the authors for highlighting this important area of therapeutic research. The authors state that the potential widespread use of capecitabine for chemoprevention and treatment of keratinocyte carcinomas may be severely hampered by its treatment-related toxicity.1 They conclude that future prospective trials are warranted, but do not provide any direction on how those trials should be designed. In this era of genomic-driven medicine, it would be important for the authors to acknowledge several key factors in trial design, including (1) the use of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) genetic testing in reducing capecitabine-related toxicity and (2) DPYD testing in ethnically diverse populations.

In Reply We thank Ikediobi for her interest in our study,1 as well as for her insightful suggestions on the design of future work in this area using her expertise in pharmacogenomics. The primary goal of our study was to systematically review what has been published on capecitabine’s association with keratinocyte carcinomas. In doing so, we highlighted not only the potential of capecitabine as a likely underused chemopreventative modality for patients with a high risk of developing keratinocyte carcinomas, particularly solid organ transplant recipients, but also the need for a prospective trial. We appreciate Ikediobi’s important points regarding how such a study should be designed.

Mission Statement: JAMA Dermatology publishes information concerning the skin, its diseases, and their treatment. Its mission is to explicate the structure and function of the skin and its diseases and the art of using this information to deliver optimal medical and surgical care to the patient. We attempt to enhance the understanding of cutaneous pathophysiology and improve the clinician’s ability to diagnose and treat skin disorders. This journal has a particular interest in publishing clinical and laboratory studies that reveal new information pertinent to the interests and needs of the medical dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, and all those concerned with state-of-the-art care of cutaneous disease. We believe that knowledge derived from well-designed clinical trials and studies of cost-effectiveness are especially important for improving the practice of dermatology. Studies that increase the understanding of the outcome of treatment or the means by which the burden of dermatologic disease can be measured and reduced to promote the health of patients with skin disease will receive special priority. The journal regularly publishes reports on clinical investigations, editorials, and reviews. It also features reports and discussions on clinicopathologic correlations; clinical disorders of unique didactic value; pharmacologic, medical and surgical therapeutics; and ethical, moral, socioeconomic, and political issues.
