Background: AK is a common lesion in populations with prolonged exposure to UV radiation. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating cryosurgery and a topical agent. Five databases were reviewed. Primary outcomes were complete clearance, partial clearance, mean reduction in lesion number. A network meta-analysis was performed for complete and partial clearance outcomes. The RoB2 tool was used to assess methodological quality and the CINEMA tool to evaluate evidence certainty. Results: Eight RCTs with a total of 1478 participants were extracted and synthesized. Four studies were included with high risk of bias, 2 with moderate, and 2 with low. For the outcome complete clearance, cryosurgery plus ingenol mebutate 0.05% (RR 19.00, CI 1.20-300.42, very low certainty evidence, P-score 0.96) appeared to be the best intervention, followed by cryosurgery/5-FU 0.5% (RR 3.00, CI 1.09-8.25, very low certainty evidence, P-score 0.79) and cryosurgery/imiquimod 3.75% (RR 9.12, CI 3.36-24.79, very low certainty evidence, P-score 0.76). For the outcome partial clearance, cryosurgery plus ingenol mebutate 0.05% (RR 11.00, CI 1.60-75.50, very low certainty evidence, P-score 0.90) emerged as the best intervention. There was a higher incidence of adverse events and local skin reactions in the combined therapy group. Conclusions: Our findings reflect the available evidence on combined therapies with cryosurgery. For complete elimination of AK lesions, cryosurgery/ingenol mebutate 0.05%, cryosurgery/5-FU 0.5%, and cryosurgery/imiquimod 3.75% are most likely to be the most effective interventions, although with a very low level of evidence.
