Presurgical evaluation of basal cell carcinoma using combined reflectance confocal microscopy-optical coherence tomography: A prospective study

摘要

Background: Initial biopsy of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may fail to show aggressive histologic subtypes. Additionality, the clinical evaluation of BCC before surgery can miss subclinical extension. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are emerging tools that can help in the presurgical evaluation of BCCs.
