Summary

This trial will study the effect of using a laser to treat basal cell carcinoma under the guidance of imaging modalities.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a confirmed diagnosis of superficial or nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that's less than 2.0 cm wide. Participants must be willing to have photos taken and follow instructions, or have someone who can do so on their behalf. Pregnant individuals, those needing surgical excision, unable to commit to a full year of follow-up, unwilling to undergo biopsy, or with herpes in the treatment area cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests Nd:YAG laser treatment guided by OCT imaging for BCC removal. It aims to improve precision in targeting cancer cells while monitoring clearance through advanced imaging techniques like OCT and RCM. The main goal is complete cancer removal verified by clinical exams and biopsies.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects may include skin irritation, redness, swelling at the treatment site due to laser exposure; precise side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.
