Summary

This study tested a special microscope that uses two-photon fluorescence to check if skin cancer is left behind during Mohs surgery. Researchers compared its results to the standard frozen section method in 135 people with basal cell carcinoma. The goal was to see how well the new technique agrees with the usual way of checking surgical margins.
