Evaluation of the Primary Response of Basal Cell Carcinoma to Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy
Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer in human beings. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel therapeutic method which may be regarded as a non-invasive useful alternative for traditional treatments of BCC. This study was designed with the aim of evaluating the primary response of BCC to PDT.Methods: This clinical trial was perform...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical procedure based on the activation of the molecules of various exogenous or endogenous chemical substances called photosensitizers by a light source emitting radiation of an adequate wavelength, usually situated in the visible spectrum; photosensitizers are chemical compounds bearing the capacity to selectively concentrate in the neoplastic cells. The ener...
متن کاملTreating basal cell carcinoma: has photodynamic therapy come of age?
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the activation of a photosensitizing drug by visible light to produce activated oxygen species which promote tumour destruction. Despite a rising tide of publications in recent years, PDT was first described 100 years ago. Generalized and severe phototoxicity from early crude photosensitizers limited development, although partial purification produced a haema...
متن کاملManagement of primary superficial basal cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Superficial basal cell carcinoma (SBCC) is a skin cancer commonly treated by general practitioners. Little is known about how GPs choose from the available treatment options. METHOD A cross sectional survey was conducted by self administered questionnaire. RESULTS Of 257 GPs surveyed, 107 responded (adjusted response rate 59%). Sixty-three percent reported treating more than two ...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy by topical meso-tetraphenylporphinesulfonate tetrasodium salt administration in superficial basal cell carcinomas.
The efficacy of an originally developed photodynamic approach, using topical administration of tetraphenylporphinesulfonate as the photosensitizer, was evaluated in a series of 292 basal cell carcinoma lesions (less than 2-mm thick) in 50 treated patients. The lack of indication for conventional therapies was the main selection criterion. The photosensitizing agent (2% solution) was topically a...
