Background: The reported efficacy of imiquimod for lentigo maligna varies widely, without consensus on tumor or treatment factors that can impact tumor clearance.

Objective: We sought to provide a more precise estimate of clearance rates in patients with lentigo maligna who are treated with imiquimod and to analyze factors that can impact tumor clearance.

Methods: We performed a literature search for biopsy-proven lentigo maligna treated with imiquimod monotherapy, linked treatment and outcome data to individual tumors, calculated histologic and clinical clearance rates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and analyzed the impact of tumor and treatment factors on tumor clearance using logistic regression.
