TLDR Intralesional cidofovir might be a good alternative treatment.
The document discussed various side effects of treatments, including kidney toxicity, uveitis, macular oedema, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, fever, hair loss, and muscle pain. It noted that topical or intralesional administration of cidofovir had not shown systemic toxicity at that time. Surgical excision was considered the best treatment for SCC due to its curative potential and ability to evaluate margins histopathologically. However, the document suggested that the successful outcome with intralesional cidofovir in a particular case might be worth considering as an alternative.
