Immunotherapeutic Approaches to Skin Cancer

Abstract

Topical application of a relatively low concentration of one or more agents to which the patient has previously been sensitized can mobilize cell-mediated immune systems at the site of neoplastic or premalignant lesions. Such treatment has proved to be effective against both primary and metastatic skin lesions. It is also suggested that dermatologie experience may provide a model for other cancer immunotherapies.
