Abstract

Keratinocyte carcinoma is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Often treated by surgical excision, electrodessication and curettage, or Mohs surgery, treatment can frequently leave patients with a scar and can be time consuming and inconvenient for both patients and healthcare providers. Utilizing non-ablative fractional laser therapy followed by tirbanibulin ointment, we treated 30 basal and/or squamous cell carcinomas on 23 patients over the age of 50 with varying skin types. Multiple areas of the face and body, and carcinomas at differing stages, were treated. We maximized the depth of penetration of the fractional laser by using bulk heating methods while simultaneously optimizing cosmetic results. This is an ongoing study as we continue to track the progress of our participants. Thus far, no clinical or histological recurrence of carcinoma has been found in any of the treated sites.
