Actinic keratoses are a possible predictor of skin cancer. These red patches caused by sun exposure are made of abnormal cells that can mutate into malignant cells in the basal, or lower layers of the skin," says Grimes. "Squamous cell carcinomas are another common form of skin cancer, and one that causes nearly 2,000 deaths annually.

* [[eggplant]] : Scientific studies have confirmed that BEC5 cures skin cancer. It has proven effective in treating over 80,000 cases of skin cancer.
* [[Radium Weed]] : An active ingredient of E. peplus sap has been identified as ingenol mebutate (PEP005). Studies show that when Ingenol mebutate is applied to the skin it not only kills the cancerous cells but also recruits white blood cells known as neutrophils that appear to reduce the risk of relapse by destroying any residual malignant cells that could allow the tumour to re-grow. An Australian company called Peplin Biotech is conducting research and developing a gel from the sap of Euphorbia peplus as a simple topical treatment for certain skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
