First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a laser, guided by a special camera (OCT), can effectively treat basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer. About 40 adults with confirmed BCC will receive the laser treatment. The goal is to see if the cancer is completely removed, potentially offering a less invasive option with better cosmetic results.
