Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA clinical study comparing methyl aminolevulinate photodynamic therapy and surgery in small superficial basal cell carcinoma (8-20 mm), with a 12-month follow-up.
To compare the efficacy and cosmetic outcome (CO) of photodynamic therapy with topical methyl aminolevulinate (MAL-PDT) with simple excision surgery for superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC) over a 1-year period. ⋯ MAL-PDT offers a similarly high efficacy and a much better CO than simple excision surgery in the treatment of sBCC.
