Fluorouracil
medication Under reviewAn antimetabolite chemotherapy medication used to treat various cancers and certain skin conditions.
Research summary
Scientific evidence on fluorouracil centers on its role in oncology, with limited data in healthy human subjects outside dermatological applications for precancerous skin conditions. Studies in healthy volunteers with photodamaged skin demonstrate topical use reduces actinic keratoses and improves photoaging markers through inflammation and collagen remodeling. No consensus supports its use as a supplement for healthy individuals due to toxicity risks and lack of broad health benefits.
