Brief Summary: Optical coherence tomography guided laser treatment of basal cell carcinoma
Detailed Description: The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the treatment basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with laser technology under the guidance of optical coherence tomography imaging (OCT). The laser modality that we plan to use is the long-pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm laser, which is a non-ablative laser already shown to effectively treat BCC. Laser treatment of BCC has limited precedent in the literature, but the addition of OCT has the opportunity to enhance outcomes by better targeting the treatment and permitting more precise monitoring of clearance. We propose to use OCT imaging to guide the laser treatment to achieve optimal efficacy with minimized side-effects.
