Gorlin Syndrome

Hightower’s Efforts in Basal Cell Carcinoma Prevention

Gorlin syndrome, or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a genetic condition that affects multiple parts of the body and increases the risk of both cancerous and noncancerous tumors. The most common cancer seen in this condition is basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that often begins to appear in adolescence or early adulthood.

To support patients with Gorlin syndrome, Hightower Clinical conducted a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a topical treatment aimed at preventing new basal cell carcinomas from developing on the face of affected adults.

Past Study Focused on Preventing Facial Tumors in Gorlin Syndrome

Hightower Clinical conducted a study to support individuals with Gorlin syndrome by evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a topical treatment to prevent new facial basal cell carcinomas. This effort aimed to improve long-term skin health and reduce the recurrence of skin cancer in affected adults.
