Ultrasound Guided Ablative-Laser Assisted Photodynamic Therapy of Basal Cell Carcinoma (US-aL-PDT)

Abstract

With proper ultrasound case selection and laser ablation before MAL-PDT, the depth of a BCC lesion is not a limiting factor for PDT, and aesthetic outcomes are very good. Therefore, ultrasound-guided ablative laser-assisted PDT of BCC can be the method of choice, particularly in aesthetically challenging cases.
