Udvalget konkluderede derfor, at fordelene ved Foscan opvejer risiciene til lindrende behandling af patienter med fremskreden pladecellekræft i hoved og hals, når anden medicin ikke virker, og når strålebehandling, operation eller systemisk kemoterapi ikke er hensigtsmæssig.
Therefore, the Committee decided that Foscan’ s benefits are greater than its risks for the palliative treatment of patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who have failed other treatments and are not suitable for radiotherapy, surgery or systemic chemotherapy.
