Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Basal cell carcinoma, clinically or histologically ascertained Size of tumor 0,5 to 1,5 cm Age = 18 years Written informed consent of the patient Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Other tumors Basal cell carcinoma, pigmented subtype; sclerodermiform subtype Patients suffering from porphyrie Hypersensitivity to methyl(5-amino-4oxopentanoat)hydrochloride, any other component of the cream or peanut oil Insufficient compliance Women during pregnancy and lactation Fertile women (< than two years after their last menstruation) without a highly effective method of birth control (defined as those which result in a low failure rate - i.e. less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly - such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner) during the clinical trial. For subjects using a hormonal contraceptive method, information regarding the product under evaluation and its potential effect on the contraceptive should be addressed. Concurrent participation in other clinical trials

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): Determination of an indicator for the incremental benefit of fluorescence diagnostics (FD). II = 1, if the tumor is fully contained within the area defined by FD and clinical diagnostics (CD), but not within the area defined by CD alone, II = 0 otherwise. ;Main Objective: The clinical trial is intended to evaluate the use of fluorescence diagnostics using Metvix und Dyaderm for the determination of the lateral extension of basal cell carcinomas.;Secondary Objective: It will be analyzed whether tumor resection based on fluorescence diagnostics reduces the number of necessary re-excisions in comparison to exclusively optical evaluation of the lateral tumor extension.
