“…Forty-three studies, enrolling a total of 1943 BD lesions and 282 SCC lesions between 1994 and 2019, were used for quantitative analysis. Thirty-two studies 1,2,5,6,11,15–41 used red light, whereas 9 studies 4,42–49 used laser. Twenty-four studies 3,4,6,16,21,28,31–38,40–42,44–50 used aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and 18 studies 1,2,5,11,15–19,22–27,29,30,39 used methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) as a photosensitizer (see Supplemental Digital Content 2 , Table S2, http://links.lww.com/DSS/B13).…”

“…Twenty studies 3,5,11,15,17,18,21, 31,32,34–37,42–44,46,47,49,50 reported predominantly small BD lesions, whereas 9 studies 4,20,23,25–27,34,45,48 reported predominantly large BD lesions. Eighteen studies reported BD primarily located on the extremities, 2,5,6,18,19,21,25,29,31–37,42,44,47 and 7 studies 3,11,15–17,43,45 reported the head/neck as the majority anatomic site. For cSCC, all lesions from 8 studies 3,4,11,39–41,45,48 reporting the lesion size were small lesions, and 7 of 8 studies reported the head/neck as the majority anatomic site.…”

Durable Clearance Rate of Photodynamic Therapy for Bowen Disease and Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

2022

BACKGROUND Although surgery is the treatment of choice for Bowen disease (BD) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), nonsurgical treatments such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be preferred for select tumors. Previous meta-analysis have failed to gather strong evidence to recommend PDT. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the effectiveness of PDT in the treatment of cSCC and BD for clearance rate (CR) after 1 year. METHODS A literature search of studies of biopsy-proven BD and cSCC treated with PDT was performed. Pooled CRs were estimated. Subgroup analyses were performed based on follow-up, treatment regimen, lesion size, and site. RESULTS Forty-three studies were included, enrolling 1943 BD lesions and 282 SCC lesions. Pooled CRs for BD and SCC were 76% (95% CI: 71%–80%; I2 = 78.9%) and 51% (95% CI: 35%–66%; I2 = 85.7%), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings support the selective use of PDT for BD; however, patients should be advised of potential for recurrence. Although PDT can be used for certain cases of cSCC, the high rate of treatment failure necessitates close surveillance for residual or recurrent disease. Further studies are needed to justify the usage of PDT in the treatment of BD and cSCC.

“…PDT is presented as an alternative treatment for BCC tumors. PDT is regarded as highly appropriate treatment option for low‐risk tumors, such as Bowen's disease, 4 or sBCC 5 . The mainly advantages of PDT, when compared with topical treatments such as imiquimod or 5‐FU, include excellent compliance, short treatment duration (adherence), and better cosmetic results after treatment.…”

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment option for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC). Recent publications have demonstrated that PDT with 7.8% 5‐aminolaevulinic acid nanoemulsion‐based gel (BF‐200 ALA‐PDT) is an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of sBCC). To investigate the efficacy and safety of 7.8% 5‐aminolaevulinic acid nanoemulsion‐based gel (BF‐200 ALA)‐PDT for the treatment of sBCC. A non‐controlled, open‐label single centre study was conducted. Patients received one PDT cycle with two PDT sessions one‐week apart. In case that clinical‐dermoscopy evaluation of treatment outcome revealed remaining lesions, a second PDT cycle was performed. The clinical results at the dermoscopy and fluorescence diagnosis level were histologically confirmed in all patients. Treatment response was evaluated 3, 6, and 12 months after last PDT session. A total of 31 patients (12 men and 19 women), with a median age of 63.74 years were included in this study. 3‐month after PDT‐session, 23/31 patients were complete responders (74.19%) after two BF‐200 ALA ‐PDT sessions. Esthetic outcome was considered good‐to‐excellent. 5 Aminolevulinic acid 7.8% nanoemulsion‐based gel (BF‐200 ALA) PDT is an effective therapy option for the treatment of sBCC. Complete clearance rates were higher in those patients who received only one PDT cycle. These results show a similar tendency as shown in other publications.
