Imiquimod, an immune response modifier with potent antiviral and antitumor properties, has been reported to be effective in the treatment of various cutaneous neoplasms. Besides stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through Toll-like receptors on the surface of dendritic cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage, novel antiapoptotic mechanisms have been identified.
