Abstract
Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) needs optical biopsy methods for tumor margin determination. Although confocal microscopy CM) has been used, CM has poor contrast to detect cancer cells with reflection contrast. We developed combined reflectance confocal (RC) & Moxifloxacin based two-photon (MB-TP) microscopy for high contrast. Here, combined microscopy was tested in various skin cancer tissues. Combined microscopy visualized both cell & extracellular matrix. Basal cell carcinoma nests were detected and distinguished from glands. Squamous cell carcinoma was detected with some features. This study showed combined microscopy has potentials for guiding MMS.
