摘要
Topical immune response modifiers include imiquimod and resiquimod. The mechanism of action of immune response modifiers is complex and not completely understood. It involves the stimulation of innate and cell-mediated immune responses through Toll-like receptor-mediated induction of cytokines. Imiquimod is approved for the treatment of actinic keratoses, superficial basal cell carcinomas and warts; it has also been documented to successfully treat other forms of skin cancer such as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, melanoma and extramammary Paget's disease.
