Accuracy of optical coherence tomography for the diagnosis of superficial basal cell carcinoma: a prospective, consecutive, cohort study of 168 cases

OCT has good diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing sBCC and measuring depth in tumours ≤ 0·4 mm. Potentially OCT can reduce the need for biopsy in clinically suspected sBCCs. However, careful follow-up is required in such cases as there is a small risk (5%) of misdiagnosis.
