Conditions
Interventions
280 nodular and superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) lesions will be included in this study. These lesions will be randomized into four different groups, with the same number of lesions (70 lesions
Groups A2 and B2: use of a portable prototype. In Groups A1 and A2, nodular BCC type lesions will be treated, while Groups B1 and B2 superficial BCC type lesions will be treated.
