New therapeutic developments for basal cell carcinoma

Rainer Kunstfeld et al. J Dtsch Dermatol Ges. 2023 Apr.

Abstract

In 2013, systemic therapy was introduced into the treatment of locally advanced (laBCC) and metastatic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC). Meanwhile, immunotherapy has been approved in this indication as well. Additional immunotherapies and other classes of drugs including combination regimens are currently being investigated in clinical trials. These agents might considerably expand the therapeutic armamentarium for laBCC and mBCC in the future.
