Intralesional Cryosurgery for Basal Cell Carcinoma - a Feasibility Study

"The Intralesional cryotherapy technology (CryoShape; CryoShape™, U.S Patent Number 6,503,246; European Patent Number 1299043, FDA 510(k) Number K060928) had been developed for the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids. The cryoneedle is connected by an adaptor to a cryogun filled with liquid nitrogen, and is introduced into the BCC. After the BCC is completely frozen, the cryoprobe defrosts and is withdrawn.~Other relevant intervention: The cryotherapy will be performed under local anesthesia (bupivacaine). After the procedure topical antibiotic cream will be applied. Participants will be followed at the out patient clinic for an average duration of 5 month after cryotherapy (3 month post cyotherapy until the biopsy and then 1-2 month more until biopsy results are received)."
