Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is an aggressive tumor with unclear margins. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) enables the differentiation of tissue from normal via visible fluorescence. therapy (PDT) widely used in treatment non-melanoma skin tumors. This study aims to illustrate efficacy and safety PDD-guided excision combined ALA-PDT patients cSCC.
