Systemic photodynamic therapy with Photofrin for naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome-A pilot study

Our preliminary results indicate that systemic photodynamic therapy using Photofrin and external light either alone or with interstitial optical diffuser fibres; may be effective in treatment of multiple, thick and nodular BCC lesions in Naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Further studies are needed to confirm our observations. We found high resolution ultrasound an effective alternative to histopathological analysis in monitoring the response to treatment.
