      Blue vs Red Light During Levulan Based Photodynamic Therapy in Patients With Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome
      Description

      The investigators will be testing whether aminolevulinate-based (Levulan™) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) shows effectiveness in the treatment and prevention of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome (BCNS) patients. Levulan™ PDT is an FDA-approved method widely used currently for squamous precancers of the skin. The investigators hypothesize that PDT will provide exceptional benefit in the BCNS population because PDT is nonmutagenic, nonscarring, and can be safely repeated many times. Additionally, the study will investigate whether there are any differences in tumor clearance between the Blu-U® (blue lamp) and Aktilite™(red lamp) therapies.
