Abstract

Autofluorescence (AF)-Raman spectroscopy has been shown to identify residual basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on frozen skin specimens and fresh skin specimens immediately after excision by Mohs surgery. This first diagnostic test of accuracy of AF-Raman on 130 full-face Mohs tissue layers (130 patients) shows that with improvement in tissue processing, the AF-Raman instrument is viable technique for intra-operative assessment of surgical margins.
