Advances in the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
Nonsurgical and nonradiation therapy for nonmelanoma skin cancer is focusing on immunotherapy, recombinant human gene products, localized delivery of radiant energy, photodynamic therapy, and retinoids. Although they are not currently practical for widespread application to nonmelanoma skin cancer, there is good reason to hope for significant therapeutic advances in these areas, which will make successful nonsurgical therapy widely available.
