| Popis: | Background/Objectives: Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) can accurately and non-invasively diagnose basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The use of RCM in assessing responses to saucerization or curettage and cautery of BCC has not been established. The aim of the present study was to expound the usefulness of RCM in assessing treatment responses of BCC to saucerization or curettage and cautery 8-12 weeks after treatment. |
