Clinical Trial: Debulking Effect of Curretage on Basal Cell Carcinomas - a Histological Assessment.

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Relation of Basal Cell Carcinoma Tumour Thickness, Histologically Estimated, in Punch Biopsies Performed Before and After Curretage.

Brief Summary: The aim of this study was to compare histologically observed tumour infitration of basal cell carcinoma (bcc) lesions before and after curretage.A significant reduction of tumour depth would enable further bcc's included for superficial non-invasive treatment modalities such as topical photodynamic therapy.

Detailed Summary:

Current Primary Outcome: Reduction of tumour thickness 0,5mm or more after curretage [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]

Original Primary Outcome: Reduction of tumour thickness 0,5mm or more after curretage

Current Secondary Outcome: Comparison of tumour thickness in punch biopsies performed on referral, before and after curretage. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Comparison of tumour thickness in punch biopsies performed on referral, before and after curretage.
