Abstract

Background: This proof of concept (PoC) study employs a multifaceted approach and focuses on collaboration's impact in preventing basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a predominant form of skin tumors occurring in the eyelid. Methods: The first phase includes a literature review spanning 2010-2023, where relevant data from PubMed and Web of Science are collected and analyzed. Specific criteria are applied to filter articles, aiming to identify trends, and gaps in existing research. The second phase focuses on clinical data analysis at Centro Hospitalar de Setúbal, Portugal (CHSP), involving the retrieval and analysis of diagnostic records of suspicious eyelid malignant lesions. The third phase entails a community perception survey on self-care and prevention, employing anonymous surveys distributed via Quick Response codes (QR codes) and Google Forms to hospital visitors and patients. Targeted interventions and educational programs, including ABCDE rule criteria for distinguishing malignant lesions, guide physicians and pharmacists in the early detection of eyelid BCC.

Results: Among the 350 initially screened articles, a total of 55 articles were selected, aligning with our objectives. Within this subset, a correlation was found between eyelid BCCs and Portugal (n = 1) and Ophthalmology (n = 10). Regarding self-care and prevention strategies by analyzing responses from 201 patients. Lastly, results showed that the implemented the Clinical “ABCDE” Rule for Pharmacist-Physician Collaboration, aiming to guide patients towards early detection and treatment is a valuable assessment technique for identifying suggestive tumor lesions and optimizing patient care.

Conclusion: Overall, the coordinated efforts of the three study phases provide promising insights into collaborative strategies and actively facilitate pharmacist-physician collaboration in promptly identifying malignant indicators for effective eyelid BCC prevention.
