Abstract
BACKGROUND Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the preferable surgery for difficult -to-treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC) but is an expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming technique. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy combined with surgery(S-PDT) versus Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for the treatment of difficult-to-treat BCC. METHODS This was a retrospective, comparative study. A total of 32 patients, 16 patients with 48 lesions, were treated with S-PDT and the other 16 patients with 17 lesions treated by MMS were enrolled in this study. Follow-up was at least 36 months posttreatment. RESULTS The recurrence rate was no statistical difference between the S-PDT and MMS (P = 1.000, Fishers exact test). The median follow-up was 42.5 months (range 36-63 months).Mean healing time in the S-PDT [17.9 days (SD 9.8)] is longer than in MMS [7.5 days (SD 1.5)] during follow-up(P＜0.001,Independent T test) . On the whole, the cosmetic outcome of patients in S-PDT was statistically no significant difference with that in MMS according to a 4-point scale (p = 0.719, chi-squared test). CONCLUSIONS S-PDT is a safe, effective, and novel cosmetic treatment, which holds the potential to be an alternative treatment to MMS for some cases.
