Investigation of Standard Excision Surgical Margins Using Two Photon Fluorescence Microscopy
University of Rochester
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of two photon fluorescence microscopy for detecting residual basal cell carcinoma during standard local excision.
Description
This study is an study of skin cancer that will evaluate the feasibility of two photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM) to evaluate surgical margins followed by standard of care permanent sections for final margin confirmation. To protect patients, following TPFM imaging, patients will receive standard of care evaluation on permanent sections, thus all patients will receive standard of care confirmation following experimental imaging. Individual excisions from consenting patients will be selected, fluorescently labeled and the distance to inked margins measured with TPFM. Following imaging, spec…
