Summary

This study tests whether an AI-powered imaging tool can accurately detect the edges of common skin cancers before surgery. Researchers will compare AI-OCT scans with standard surgical results in 30 adults with basal cell carcinoma. If the AI works well, it could help surgeons remove the cancer in fewer steps, making treatment faster and cheaper.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AI-enhanced Optical Coherence Tomography (imaging test)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to fewer surgical stages for skin cancer removal, saving time and reducing costs.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants. The AI may not be accurate enough, and a follow-up trial is needed to test if it actually reduces surgery steps.
