Background: Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitors (HHIs) should be offered to patients with advanced BCC as a first line treatment. Two systemic HHIs are currently available: sonidegib and vismodegib.
Objective: Since there is no head-to-head trial of sonidegib versus vismodegib and very few comparative studies have been published, we aimed at prospectively describing our long-term approach to manage advanced BCC based on our 10 years' experience with HHIs.

Systemic therapy with hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies represent the first- and second-line treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma (aBCC), respectively. A shift in the treatment paradigms toward the neoadjuvant approach is gaining increasing interest in aBCC management, whereby prior systemic therapy followed by surgery is likely to yield more favorable outcomes. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the current evidence on systemic treatment options and the neoadjuvant approach for aBCC management.

/: Long-term outcome data of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma patients who achieve complete response (CR) on hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) are lacking, highlighting a gap in the identification of the predictors of tumor recurrence. We aimed to investigate the clinical and histological factors associated with locally advanced BCC recurrence after CR on HHIs. : We performed a retrospective multicenter observational study at 14 Italian tertiary referral centers (1 January 2016-1 March 2024).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Hedgehog inhibitors (HHIs) can be used to treat patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) who are not candidates for surgery or radiation or whose tumors have recurred following radiation or surgery. The purpose of this expert consensus panel is to guide HHI usage, thereby informing clinical decision-making and optimizing patient care.
