Cover Story: Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) can help the clinical diagnosis of skin cancers. It is a second-level diagnostic tool performed on lesions selected via clinical and dermoscopic examination. In real life, LC-OCT has a potentially important role in the non-invasive diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and the other most common skin carcinomas. The real-time imaging technique could spare unnecessary biopsies with an increased sensitivity, a much higher specificity, and better accuracy than clinical assessment with dermoscopy alone.
