This pilot study, which will also appear in the print version of the December issue of Dermatologic Surgery, was conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota Department of Dermatology and found that the median number of SCCs was reduced by 79% at 12 months after cyclic Levulan PDT treatment and by 95% at 24 months, when compared to the pre-PDT year measurement date. “These results are another step forward in managing and improving the health of SOTR patients who have a much higher risk than the general population of developing SCCs, a skin cancer that is often times deadly in this patient population…” No SPM+Game Theory rating with EXIT POINT $3.25.
