- W4382025352 abstract "Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is licensed in the UK for treating at least one nonmelanoma skin cancer and premalignant lesions. The PDT is a service offered at our centre but is anecdotally underutilized with no up-to-date outcome measures. The aim was to audit the PDT service at the Birmingham Skin Centre against the 2018 British Association of Dermatologists and British Photodermatology Group PDT guidelines, and make recommendations for improvement. Retrospective data were gathered on consecutive patients treated with topical PDT between 12 March 2019 and 28 August 2022 at the Birmingham Skin Centre and compared with the recommended audit points in the national guidelines. A clinician survey was conducted to assess service awareness, satisfaction and referral process. Thirty-four patients received topical PDT during the specified time period; two patients were excluded from data analysis as the last treatment fell within the 3-month assessment period (n = 32). Differentiation between ambulatory and standard PDT was not recorded. Treatment was licensed in all cases (n = 32): actinic keratosis (AK; n = 18), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; n = 7) in situ, superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC; n = 4), nodular BCC (n = 1) and other (n = 2). Clearance assessment at 3 months was recorded in 21 of 32 cases; accounting for this, the clearance rate for AK, SCC in situ and superficial BCC at 3 months after last treatment was 52% (n = 11/21; guideline recommendation ≥ 75%). Eleven of 32 patients treated for SCC in situ and superficial BCC within the data set were due 12-month clearance assessment. Four of 11 patients had clearance assessment recorded. Accounting for this, the clearance rate for SCC in situ and superficial BCC at 12 months after last treatment was 50% (n = 2/4; guideline recommendation ≥ 75%). No patient had an individual pain-management plan documented. Patient satisfaction of the service was recorded in 9% (n = 3/32) of cases; of these, 67% (n = 2/3) of patients were ‘very satisfied’ and 33% ‘satisfied’. Patient satisfaction of cosmetic result was recorded in one case as ‘excellent’. The PDT was a popular treatment method among the clinicians surveyed. Some clinicians asked for PDT-based teaching. The general consensus supported online referrals and documentation. The PDT is used for licensed indications and popular with clinicians in our department. Clearance rates at 3 (52%) and 12 (50%) months are below the national guideline recommendation of 75%. Limited documentation across audit points limits interpretation of clearance rates, patient satisfaction and adverse effects. We plan to implement a new standardized digital referral and documentation system to improve the service." @default.
