[HedgeHog inhibitor targeted therapy for periocular basal cell carcinoma: a case report]

|September 6, 2023
Abstract:
A female patient, 87 years old, presented with an irregular swelling in the left medial canthus for 7 years. Due to the patient's poor general condition, radical surgery was not considered appropriate. Surgical biopsy confirmed periocular basal cell carcinoma of the left medial canthus. The patient was administered oral HedgeHog inhibitor targeted therapy for 6 months, resulting in approximately 90% reduction in tumor size. The patient's condition improved, and the tumor remained stable during the course of follow-up.

The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
