Abstract
The invention is a method for treatment of cutaneous cell-proliferative disorders. More specifically, the method of the invention is useful in mitigating and inducing remission of lesions associated with such disorders and in controlling related symptoms of the disorders (such as scaling and itching). According to the method of the invention, an invertebrate neurotoxin is administered to the skin of the host at or near the site of a lesion. The preferred neurotoxin for use in the method of the invention is Botulinum toxin, particularly Botulinum toxin A.
Claims9
A method for mitigating or inducing remission of a skin lesion associated with a cutaneous cell-proliferative disorder in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Botulinum toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form to the mammal by delivery of the Botulinum toxin to the site of the lesion.
A method for controlling symptoms associated with the onset or presence of a cutaneous cell-proliferative disorder in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Botulinum toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form to the mammal by delivery of the Botulinum toxin to the mammal's skin.
A method for mitigating or inducing remission of a skin lesion associated with a cutaneous cell-proliferative disorder in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Tetanus toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form to the mammal by delivery of the Tetanus toxin to the site of the lesion.
A method for mitigating or inducing remission of a skin lesion associated with a cutaneous cell-proliferative disorder in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a biologically active fragment of a Tetanus toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form to the mammal by delivery of the Tetanus toxin to the site of the lesion.
A method for controlling symptoms associated with the onset or presence of a cutaneous cell-proliferative disorder in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Tetanus toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form to the mammal by delivery of the Tetanus toxin to the mammal's skin.
