Vismodegib for Locally Advanced Periocular and Orbital Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Review of 15 Consecutive Cases
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common periocular skin cancer and can lead to significant morbidity. We assess the effectiveness of vismodegib, a first-in-class Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor, in the management of periocular and orbital BCCs based on clinical response, tolerability, and orbital content preservation. All patients with periocular or orbital BCCs who met criteria for ...

متن کاملTargeted Therapy for Advanced Basal-Cell Carcinoma: Vismodegib and Beyond
Basal-cell carcinoma is a commonly occurring skin malignancy that has the potential to progress into locally invasive or resistant disease, as well as spread distantly. Due to advances in the molecular understanding of the disease over the last two decades, it has been discovered that the Hedgehog pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease and can be exploited as a trea...
متن کاملRole of Vismodegib in the Management of Advanced Periocular Basal Cell Carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Vismodegib is the first selective hedgehog pathway inhibitor approved to treat locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Limited information is available concerning its role in managing advanced BCC around the eye. METHODS The medical literature was searched for cases of nonsyndromic periocular BCC treated with vismodegib. Clinical information was abstracted and a...
