The analysis was limited to studies published in English from the first data available through May 1, 2023.Data was strongest for the use of lasers for treating BCC, especially pulsed dye lasers . Of 11 unique studies on PDL as monotherapy for managing BCCs, clearance rates ranged from 14.3% to 90.0%.
For SCCs, 13 studies were identified that evaluated the use of lasers alone or in combination with PDL for treating SCC in situ.
