Abstract

Prospective observational study in a cohort of patients from three health centers in Cuba, with a 5-year follow-up.

195 patients with high-risk basal cell carcinoma (HR-BCC) on the face who were not candidates for surgical treatment were selected.

A predesigned combination of interferon (INF) a2b and g was used, applied by dermatologists at a dose of 10.5 x 106 IU intradermally perilesionally. The frequency of treatment was three weeks and the total duration was 3 consecutive weeks.
