Evaluation of Talimogene Laherparepvec for the Treatment of Advanced Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers
Our initial experience with a small, single-institution cohort demonstrated tumor response to intralesional T-VEC with or without immunotherapy in some patients with NMSC. Nearly 50% of participants had a complete response; two-thirds of responders remained relapse-free at the time of follow-up. Some observed responses are not attributable to T-VEC alone due to high usage rates of IO. Future work should expand to larger cohorts and focus on its use with and without immune therapy.
