A total of 601 patients with a superficial BCC participated in this study: 202 patients were treated with methylaminolevulinate photodynamic therapy (MAL - PDT), 198 with imiquimod cream, and 201 with fluorouracil cream. (sciencedaily.com)
While most types of BCC require surgery, superficial BCC can be treated topically with noninvasive treatments such as PDT, imiquimod cream, fluorouracil cream, cryosurgery or electrodessication and curettage. (sciencedaily.com)
More recently, a topical medication called imiquimod has been used in both canine and human infections to help boost immune - mediated inflammation and thus facilitate destruction of the virus by the body. (marvistavet.com)
