  • Title: Treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the skin with 5-fluorouracil ointment. A 10-year follow-up study.
    Author: Reymann F.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1979; 158(5):368-72. PubMed ID: 437226.
    Abstract:
    During the period 1966-1968, 88 patients with a total of 95 basal cell carcinomas were treated with 5% 5-fluorouracil ointment. A follow-up study carried out from November 1977 to January 1978 revealed a total of 12 recurrences in 56 surviving patients with 56 basal cell carcinomas. The recurrence rate is thus 21.4%. It is concluded that there is hardly any indication for using 5-fluorouracil in local treatment of nodular basal cell carcinoma.
