AbstractSurgical management of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) typically involves surgical excision with post‐operative margin assessment using the bread‐loafing technique; or gold‐standard Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), where margins are iteratively examined for residual cancer after tumour removal, with additional excisions performed upon detecting residual tumour at margins. There is limited sampling of resection margins with bread loafing, with detection of positive margins 44% of the time using 2 mm intervals. To resolve this, we have developed three‐dimensional (3D) Tissue Imaging for: (1) complete examination of cancer margins and (2) detection of tumour proximity to nerves and blood vessels. 3D Tissue optical clearing with a light sheet imaging protocol was developed for margin assessment in two datasets assessed by two independent evaluators: (1) 48 samples from 29 patients with varied BCC subtypes, sizes and pigmentation levels; (2) 32 samples with matching Mohs' surgeon reading of tumour margins using two‐dimensional haematoxylin & eosin‐stained sections. The 3D Tissue Imaging protocol permits a complete examination of deeper and peripheral margins. Two independent evaluators achieved negative predictive values of 92.3% and 88.24% with 3D Tissue Imaging. Images obtained from 3D Tissue Imaging recapitulates histological features of BCC, such as nuclear crowding, palisading and retraction clefting and provides a 3D context for recognising normal skin adnexal structures. Concurrent immunofluorescence labelling of nerves and blood vessels allows visualisation of structures closer to tumour‐positive regions, which may have a higher risk for neural and vascular infiltration. Together, this method provides more information in a 3D spatial context, enabling better cancer management by clinicians.
