Imaging before Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging method called LC-OCT to look at basal cell carcinoma before Mohs surgery. It may help doctors see the tumor more clearly and plan the surgery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a basal cell carcinoma that is scheduled for Mohs surgery.
- Your diagnosis was confirmed by dermoscopy and either histopathology or OCT.
- You have not had any previous treatment for this basal cell carcinoma.
- The tumor is not in a hard-to-reach area like the inner ear or the corner of the eye.

This trial tests a special microscope that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help surgeons see exactly where skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma) ends during surgery. This could help remove all cancer cells in one go, making repeat surgeries less likely.
This study is testing a new imaging technology that helps surgeons see if all the cancer cells have been removed during Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma. It may help improve accuracy and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
This study is testing whether a special type of scan (called D-OCT) can accurately detect and classify a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this scan can diagnose the cancer without needing a biopsy.
This trial is testing a new microscope technique that may help doctors see more clearly whether all cancer cells have been removed during standard skin cancer surgery. It could help make sure the surgery is successful the first time.
This trial tests if giving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) before surgery works better than one drug alone for people with large or high-risk basal cell skin cancer that needs surgery. The goal is to shrink the cancer and make surgery easier.
This study looks at how people with advanced basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer that is hard to treat or has spread) are cared for and what happens over time. It does not test any new treatments, but helps doctors learn more about the disease.
