While basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is effectively treated by several methods, many patients with numerous or frequently occurring lesions seek alternatives that can treat multiple cancers, with improved cosmetic outcome. PDT for esophageal and lung carcinomas is approved at a porfimer sodium (Photofrin) dose of 2 mg/kg, but lower doses increase selectivity and decrease both cutaneous phototoxicity and cost. We evaluated low doses of porfimer sodium PDT for treatment of multiple BCC.
