Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether injecting ALA into the skin with a jet-injection device and activating the drug with light is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with basal cell carcinoma.
Interventions
DRUGJet injection of ALA
The Basal Cell Carcinoma/BCC tumor and a 5 mm margin will be injected with a grid of 80 microliters of 20% ALA at 5-8.5 mm between each injection (30-50% overlap).
PROCEDURESurgical excision
In the first 4 patients, the tumor will be excised according to national guidelines after 3h incubation (+/- 30 min is accepted).
PROCEDUREIllumination
For patients 5-16,after 3h incubation (+/- 30 min), the tumor will be illuminated with red light corresponding to a dose of 75 J/cm2 570- 670 nm or equivalent dose of narrowband red light. The intervention will be repeated at after 14 days in patient 5-16. If the wound is not healed at two weeks, the treatment may be postponed to allow healing (patient 5-16).
OTHERIncubation
After injection of ALA, the tumor will be occluded with a light proof dressing and incubated for 3h (+/- 30 min).

Exclusion criteria
Subjects meeting any one of the following criteria are not eligible to participate in this study * High-risk BCC(s) (H area, \>1 cm in M area, or \>2 cm in L area) * BCC(s) subtype morpheaform * Diagnosed with gorlin syndrome * Receiving immunosuppressive medication * Subjects with a known allergy to ALA * Individuals with other interfering skin diseases in the area of treatment * Subjects with a tattoo in the treatment area which may interfere with or confound the evaluation of the study * Subjects with a history of keloids which is deemed clinically relevant in the opinion of the investigator * Lactating or pregnant women * Patient who are taking prescription pain medications or can not stop OTC pain medications.
