ROJAS RONDON, Irene et al. Treatment with HeberFERON⁽ in Palpebral Basal Carcinoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-3070.

Palpebral basal carcinoma represents 90% of ocular malignant tumors with high morbidity. Its incidence has a different behavior in different parts of the world and generally increases with age. Positive diagnosis is made by histological evaluation of the specimen by excisional biopsy. The ideal treatment is surgical, although other treatment options are available. Non-surgical treatment is aimed at eliminating the tumor, as well as avoiding the complications or functional and esthetic sequelae of surgery. Numerous options are recognized within the non-surgical therapeutic modality; imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, Hedgehog pathway inhibitors and interferons. Several studies have demonstrated the usefulness of interferons in monotherapy or as combination therapy in patients not amenable to surgery. For this reason, it was decided to review the current scientific literature on the efficacy and safety of HeberFERON® in the treatment of palpebral basal cell carcinoma. An updated search was carried out taking into account the descriptors corresponding to the key words related to the subject under investigation, in the bibliographic databases Medline (PubMed search engine), SciELO, Ebsco, Clinical Key and Google Scholar. Thirty-five articles were retrieved whose content corresponded to the subject of the study.
