      Successful Treatment of Genital Warts with Ingenol Mebutate Monitored with Optical Coherence Tomography and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy

      Ingenol mebutate (IM) is approved for the treatment of actinic keratosis and induces cell death in precancerous lesions. The efficacy of IM in the treatment of genital warts was investigated in a therapy-refractory patient. The 74-year-old male was treated with IM gel for three consecutive days. Treatment course and efficacy were evaluated by clinical inspection and non-invasive diagnostics namely optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). Within 24 to 48 hours IM induced a strong local inflammatory reaction. One week later a complete response was observed. OCT and RCM showed a strong reaction after treatment with erosions, swelling ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Basal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Photodynamic Therapy: A Pilot Study

      The conversion of hyporeflective basal cell carcinoma nodules into hyperreflective ovoid structures was remarked with optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a sign of tumor regression under photodynamic therapy (PDT). OCT presented a higher accuracy in identifying residual and non-residual lesions after PDT treatment compared to clinical inspection alone.  OCT might be used in the future as a standard procedure for detecting non-melanoma skin cancer sparing patients invasive procedures.

      Noninvasive monitoring of basal cell carcinomas treated with systemic hedgehog inhibitors: Pseudocysts as a sign of tumor regression

      Background Oral hedgehog inhibitors (HHIs) have shown significant efficacy in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The evaluation of tumor regression has been performed using clinical photography and radiographic scans. Noninvasive imaging techniques, such as reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and high-definition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT), have been shown to be valuable in detecting BCC in the skin. Objective We monitored HHI-treated BCC using RCM and HD-OCT in vivo and correlated morphologic changes seen on imaging to changes in traditional histopathology. Methods Six BCCs in 5 patients receiving HHIs (vismodegib or sonidegib) were examined by RCM and HD-OCT before and ...
