Article Synopsis
- Each year, 3.3 million Americans are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), and existing treatments like surgery are invasive and costly.
- Topical treatments like 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod can have significant side effects, highlighting the need for better options.
- Research on the small molecule N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate (PALA) showed it to be well-tolerated and effective in reducing tumors in a mouse model, suggesting it could be a promising alternative treatment for NMSC.
