Treatment Approaches for Photocarcinoma
摘要
Photocarcinoma, a malignant dermatological condition precipitated by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation, poses a considerable challenge within the field of dermatological oncology. This abstract investigates diverse therapeutic strategies for photocarcinoma, emphasizing their effectiveness, safety profiles, and long-term prognostic outcomes. Contemporary methods of treatment involve both surgical and non-surgical techniques, where surgical options are excisional surgery, Mohs micrographic surgery, wide local excision, along with resection and reconstruction of skin cancer, whereas non-surgical techniques comprise radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy. Recent advancements in immunotherapy and targeted molecular therapies have yielded promising outcomes in the management of advanced cases. The selection of therapeutic approaches is contingent upon variables such as tumor dimensions, anatomical location, histological classification, and patient-specific characteristics. Increasingly, combination therapies are being employed to augment therapeutic outcomes and mitigate recurrence rates. This chapter further underscores the significance of early detection and preventive measures in curtailing the incidence of photocarcinoma. Additional research is imperative to formulate more effective and personalized treatment paradigms for this progressively prevalent form of skin cancer.
