Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer worldwide. Although this tumor is rarely life threatening, it is locally destructive and can cause significant cosmetic and functional problems. Standard therapeutic modalities for BCC often result in disfigurement from surgical treatments and recurrences with topical therapies. Thus, there is a need for alternative non-surgical options that are effective, efficient, and have a low risk of side effects. This has led to the emergence of laser investigations for the treatment of BCC due to the ease of treatment, lack of significant downtime, decreased risk of complications, and absence of a surgical scar. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laser treatment of subjects with BCC on the trunk and extremities. Subjects will receive one treatment with the laser to the BCC. Standard excision will be performed between 30 and 90 days after laser treatment to evaluate resolution of the BCC. A visit for suture removal will be performed as appropriate for the site of the surgery. Standardized photographs and measurements will be taken at the baseline visit, immediately after laser treatment and on the day of excision.
