- Abstract: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), the first-line treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), can help realize a complete histological examination of tumor borders during operation, thereby reserve as many normal tissues as possible, and reduce the recurrence rate. Skin imaging techniques can be used to describe the tumor edge of BCC before operation, so as to realize the marking of surgical margins by using non-invasive technologies before operation, improve the first-time success rate of MMS, reduce the cost of multi-stage MMS operation, and reduce the recurrence rate. This review summarizes the progress in the application of skin imaging techniques in determining surgical margins of BCC.
