    TLDR Intralesional cidofovir may be a viable alternative treatment for SCC.
    The document discussed the use of cidofovir, noting that while kidney toxicity was the most common side effect, other less frequent side effects included uveitis, macular oedema, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, fever, hair loss, and muscle pain. It was mentioned that when cidofovir was administered topically or intralesionally, systemic toxicity had not been observed. Surgical excision was considered the best treatment for SCC due to its curative potential and ability to allow for histopathological evaluation of margins. However, the document suggested that the successful outcome with intralesional cidofovir in a particular case might be worth considering as an alternative.
