δ-Aminolevulinic Acid and Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Multiple Basal Cell Carcinomas in Two Patients with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome

Treatment of basal cell carcinomas in patients with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome

“…This resulted in a reduction of the size and number of the existing BCCs, scars from previous excisions improved and the rate of tumour developing decreased 22 . Similar results are seen by Itkin et al 23 . They treated two patients with multiple superficial and nodular BCCs on the face and extremities.…”

Treatment of the Patient with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome in a Megasession

Several case reports describe the use of PDT in patients with NBCCS 6,9,10 . Oseroff and colleagues, for example, noted a 90% to 98% clearance of BCCs in two children with NBCCS 6 .…”

Treatment of Actinic Cheilitis Using Photodynamic Therapy with Methylaminolevulinate: Report of Three Cases

“…Moreover, PDT with δ‐aminolevulinic acid and a 417 nm blue light source is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of nonhypertrophic actinic keratoses. Furthermore, there is evidence that this therapeutic regimen is also effective in the treatment of superficial and nodular BCCs 12 …”
