The role of reflectance confocal microscopy in the diagnosis and management of squamous cell carcinoma in situ treated with photodynamic therapy

Abstract

There was good correlation between histological and confocal features in patients who underwent RCM imaging prior to biopsy. RCM may be a complementary tool in diagnosing SCCIS and to monitor response to nonsurgical treatment by avoiding unnecessary biopsies especially in lesions with persistent residual postinflammatory erythema.
