The introduction of vismodegib is an almost science-fiction evolution in the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Vismodegib has changed advanced BCC treatment from an almost exclusively surgical approach with potentially disabling outcomes to a medical treatment that can be extremely effective, with short and medium-scale side effects. New miraculous medications may be a huge help, but appropriate and timely psychological and emotional support may be just as important to assure the effectiveness of that treatment.

Abstract

The introduction of vismodegib is an almost science-fiction evolution in the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Vismodegib has changed advanced BCC treatment from an almost exclusively surgical approach with potentially disabling outcomes to a medical treatment that can be extremely effective, with short and medium-scale side effects. New miraculous medications may be a huge help, but appropriate and timely psychological and emotional support may be just as important to assure the effectiveness of that treatment.
