Real-world data on the efficacy and safety of hedgehog pathway inhibitors in patients with basal cell carcinoma: Experience of a tertiary Australian centre.

Background: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common cancers worldwide. Although most BCCs are amenable to local treatment, there are limited therapeutic options for surgically unresectable locally advanced and metastatic BCCs. Activation of the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway plays a significant role in the development of most BCCs.
