We tested the efficacy of 5-FU on secondary SCC in two melanoma patients who were being treated with the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib (GSK2118436). We show that 5-FU provides a safe, noninvasive, inexpensive, and effective alternative to surgical intervention in clinical cases in which multiple surgeries are difficult or in cases in which lesions are incipient.

Abstract

We tested the efficacy of 5-FU on secondary SCC in two melanoma patients who were being treated with the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib (GSK2118436). We show that 5-FU provides a safe, noninvasive, inexpensive, and effective alternative to surgical intervention in clinical cases in which multiple surgeries are difficult or in cases in which lesions are incipient.
