Abstract

Introduction: HeberFERON has shown excellent results in the solution of skin cancer located in the facial region, specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC), constituting a less traumatic alternative for its treatment.

Objective: to describe the results of the application of HeberFERON in patients with BCC who attended dermatology consultation at the Luis Augusto Turcios Lima Polyclinic in Pinar del Río, from January 2020 to December 2021.

Methodology: a series study of clinical cases with diagnosis of BCC was carried out. Thirty cases were included with clinical diagnosis, by dermatoscopy and histopathological study by biopsy, located in the anatomical region called zone H of the face. They were treated with HeberFERON in different 3-week cycles according to response. They were reevaluated by dermoscopy between 8 and 16 weeks after the end of the treatment.

Results: together with female sex, skin phototype II, location on the dorsum of the nose, and ulcerated clinical and histological subtype were the most frequent. All cases showed complete response.

Conclusions: the effectiveness of treatment with HeberFERON is shown in a series of 30 cases diagnosed with BCC. Among the main adverse reactions shown were: fever, chills and erythema at the infiltration site. This study shows that HeberFERON is a therapeutic option to avoid mutilations in the H-zone of the face, which makes its use advisable in cases diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer.
