Materials And Methods: HFUS skin imaging was used to examine 27 BCCs. A specialized high-resolution digital ultrasound imaging system DUB (TPM GmbH, Germany) with 75-MHz and 30-MHz probes was used.
Aim: To describe the ultrasonographic findings of surface and nodular basal cell skin cancer (BCC) using high frequency ultrasonography.
Materials And Methods: We examined 60 primary BCCs in different locations with the High Frequency Ultrasound (HFU) system DUB Skin Scanner using 75 MHz and 30 MHz probes. Epidermis, dermis, and depth of tumors spread in the region of interest (ROI) were measured.
The paper presented results of photodynamic therapy for 139 patients with basal cell carcinoma. We conducted a study of the efficacy and safety of four methods of photodynamic therapy. There were used the following photosensitizers: photohem, photosens, photolon and photodithazine.
