Combined cemiplimab and radiotherapy for advanced basal cell carcinoma: A case report.

Advanced basal cell carcinoma may be treated with systemic therapies such as hedgehog pathway inhibitors or programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors, namely cemiplimab. We report a case of a 70-year-old man with a nodulo-infiltrative advanced basal cell carcinoma over the right posterior neck and scapula. The patient had a partial response to the hedgehog pathway inhibitor, vismodegib. The tumour progressed, and the patient was switched from vismodegib to radiotherapy combined with cemiplimab, which led to a significant reduction in pain, bleeding, and tumour size. A combined treatment approach with radiotherapy and cemiplimab may be beneficial for advanced basal cell carcinoma cases that progress after treatment with hedgehog pathway inhibitors.
