Abstract
In selected cases, conventional photodynamic therapy (C-PDT) is a valid alternative to surgery for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, it is limited to superficial BCCs. Pretreatment of BCCs with ablative lasers may enhance its efficacy. We evaluated the C-PDT and CO2 laser combination therapy for the treatment of superficial and nodular BCCs.In this prospective, interventional, monocentric study, patients affected by BCC were...
