Er:YAG Ablative Fractional Laser Assisted-Photodynamic Therapy Versus Photodynamic Therapy for Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma in Asian: A Prospective, Randomized Study With 12 Months Follow-up

NCT02018679 Phase 1 COMPLETED

Topical photodynamic therapy with methyl-aminolaevulinate (MAL-PDT) has been introduced as an alternatively attractive procedure for BCC. Er:YAG ablative fractional laser (AFL) treatment removes the stratum corneum to increase MAL uptake and may improve efficacy. However, no studies have directly compared the efficacy of Er:YAG AFL-PDT and MAL-PDT in treating nodular BCC in Asians.
