Basal cell carcinoma (BCC ) is the most common human malignancy. Systemic therapy with a sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway inhibitor plays an important role in the treatment of advanced BCC . Literature on concurrent use of radiation therapy (RT ) with SHH inhibitors has been minimal and has solely been focused on vismodegib. We present a case report of a patient with recurrent basal cell carcinoma involving the high-risk area of the face, who was denied surgery due to comorbidities and difficulty in obtaining complete tumor removal without cosmetic or functional impairment. The patient received combined treatment of fractionated radiation with concurrent sonidegib and had complete clinical response with no significant toxicities. This is the first reported case on the use of concurrent RT with sonidegib for management of recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
基底细胞癌(BCC)是最常见的人类恶性肿瘤。使用音猬因子(SHH)信号通路抑制剂进行全身治疗在晚期基底细胞癌的治疗中发挥着重要作用。关于放射治疗(RT)与SHH抑制剂联合使用的文献极少,且仅集中在维莫德吉。我们报告一例复发性基底细胞癌累及面部高危区域的患者,该患者因合并症以及难以在不造成美容或功能损害的情况下完全切除肿瘤而被拒绝手术。该患者接受了分割放疗联合索尼德吉的治疗,获得了完全的临床缓解,且无明显毒性。这是首例关于使用索尼德吉联合放疗治疗头颈部复发性基底细胞癌的报道。
