Background:
Multiple currently accepted treatments for non melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are now available.
Purpose:
To present multimodality treatment for NMSCs and to report any side effects or recurrence during three years follow-up period.
Material And Methods:
This is a prospective study including 120 patients with NMSCs. Patients were subjected to different treatment modalities with follow-up for three years.
Results:
103 Patients (85.8%) were treated by surgery with or without post operative radiotherapy, 8 patients (5%) received only radiation therapy, 7 patients (5.8%) treated by shave excision followed by medical treatment (intralesional interferon for 3 months, systemic retinoids and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor for 6 months), and 2 patients (1.7%) escaped the treatment. All patients treated by shave excision followed by medical treatment showed complete healing of all lesions 6 months after completing the course of treatment.
Conclusion:
Alternatives to the surgical management of NMSC may be preferred under certain circumstances.
Key Words:
BCC - Interferon - Retinoids - SCC.
