Safety and efficacy of vismodegib in patients aged ≥65 years with advanced basal cell carcinoma. [PDF]
Because many patients with unresectable basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are aged ≥65 years, this study explores the efficacy and safety of vismodegib in these patients with locally advanced (la) or metastatic (m) basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the ERIVANCE BCC
