Simulated daylight vs. conventional PDT for clinical superficial BCC: A randomized controlled trial.
J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol
February 2025
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a recognized treatment for superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC). Conventional PDT (C-PDT) has a relatively high clearance rate but is time-consuming and painful. Simulated daylight PDT (SDL-PDT) has the potential advantage of causing less pain, but its effectiveness has not been investigated thoroughly.

- * Risk factors identified for higher IER included lesions on the head and neck, clinical excision margins less than 5 mm, and the use of preoperative partial biopsies.
- * The research suggests careful surgical planning for excising LMs, particularly those ≥ 20 mm and in challenging anatomical areas, and that plastic surgeons had higher IERs compared to dermatologists.
Objectives: The aim of this review article is to summarize the effectiveness, potential adverse events, and indications of the main nonsurgical treatment alternatives for basal cell carcinoma.
Methods: An extensive literature review was carried out. The most relevant articles were discussed and selected by the authors in order to provide a brief but evidence-based overview of the most common nonsurgical methods used for treating basal cell carcinoma.
