Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand the immune response to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in order to develop new methods of treating BCC. Previous research suggests that PDT alters the immune response, possibly in a way that could promote better tumor clearance when combined with other treatments. Overall, participation in this study will help the study team better understand the anti-tumor immune response when BCC is treated with PDT.

Primary Outcome

Time (days) to maximum expression of immune checkpoint molecules in BCC tumors and peri-tumoral stroma after PDT, as compared to untreated tumors. Data from frozen BCC specimens post-PDT by immunostaining the tumor specimens with antibodies against PD-L1, PD-1, CTLA-4 as well as the newer IC molecules TIGIT, TIM-3, and LAG-3
