Abstract

Objective: To generate recommendations for the management of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (LABCC) in the Colombian context, based on consensus of experts.

Materials and methods: A formal consensus was made, with nominal group methodology. A systematic literature search was conducted to support the development of consensus. A group of experts in the management of locally advanced basal cell carcinoma in Colombia was invited to participate and a conduction group and an assessment group were established (panel of fourteen experts). The scope and questions of the consensus were previously defined. The groups worked in virtual meetings and finally in two face-to-face sessions the recommendations were defined.

Results: The LABCC is defined as a tumor larger than 2 cm, with involvement of deep structures and one or more of the following criteria: recurrent tumor, poorly defined borders, histologically aggressive, with perineural invasion. To define the proper management, the panel recommended taking into account tumor criteria, therapy criteria, and patient criteria. The panel recommended that in patients with LABCC, in whom surgery is not adequate, the treatment of choice is vismodegib.

Conclusions: The results of this work reflect the definition of LABCC for the Colombian context, and the general recommendations for its management, including specific aspects of medical therapy with vismodegib.
