Brief summary

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common form of cancer. The treatment of BCC can be surgical or topical for the low-risk subtypes. Topical treatments used for BCC are imiquimod and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Ingenol mebutate could provide a fast and easy topical therapy for BCC. Data regarding the treatment of BCC with ingenol mebutate are still limited. The investigators propose a pilot study to investigate the efficacy of 1 or 2 courses of ingenol mebutate 0,05%, on superficial and nodular BCC

Interventions

DRUGPicato 0.05% Topical Gel

apply on and 1 cm around the lesion, 0.47 g of Picato® gel 150 µg/g, once a day on 2 consecutive days. In case of treatment failure after 3 months, apply again on and 1 cm around the lesion, 0.47 g of Picato® gel 150 µg/g, once a day on 2 consecutive days.
