Optical Coherence Tomography Guided C&D

February 16, 2024 updated by: Keyvan Nouri, University of Miami

Using OCT Imaging to Determine the Presence of Residual Tumor Cells After C&D for Superficial and Nodular BCC: A Prospective Study.

The purpose of the study is to identify the presence of residual superficial and nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) status-post curettage and desiccation (C&D) by using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients of any: age, gender, Fitzpatrick skin type and ethnicity.
  • Primary BCC of any type, except aggressive types that fit the criteria for Mohs surgery
  • No prior treatment on the lesion within the last 3 months.
  • Lesions anywhere except the head, neck and distal extremities.
  • Willing and able to sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Aggressive BCC types.
  • Recurrent tumors.
  • Lesion treated within last 3 months.
  • Lesions on head and neck (high risk areas)
  • Lesions on distal extremities (thin epidermis not preferred for OCT).
  • Pregnant women.
  • Patients less than 18 years old.
  • Prisoners.
  • Any other condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the subject's ability to comply with the study protocol

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: OCT Guided C&D Group
Participants in this group will receive OCT imaging immediately prior, immediately after and 2 months after post standard of care C&D.
VivoSight Dx OCT system from Michelson Diagnostics Ltd. OCT will be used to visualize the tumor and lesion in the skin.
Standard of care C&D where the basal cell carcinoma lesion will be scraped to its base using a Fox dermal curette and an electrodesiccation machine.
