COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THERAPIES FOR CUTANEOUS BASAL-CELL CARCINOMA
The results of comparative analysis of therapies for cutaneous basal-cell cancer suggest that photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the most effective method, extending significantly the armory of means used for the treatment of primary and relapsing cutaneous cancer, including cancer of inconvenient location (concha, corner of the eye, eye lids, nose, etc.) and for tumors resistant to previous traditional therapy. Photodynamic therapy can be used in complex with other therapeutic methods. The efficiency of PDT with different photosensitizers has been studied. By cosmetic results PDT is superior to other methods.
