The purpose of this study is to find out if radiation therapy (RT) guided by the new reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM)/optical coherence tomography (OCT) device is an effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The researchers will also look at the side effects from RT guided by the RCM/OCT device. In addition, will determine the quality of life before and after treatment by having the participant fill out questionnaires.

Patients will undergo RCM/OCT with an imaging specialist in the Dermatology Service. This is not expected to take longer than 30 minutes. Prior to imaging, a digital photograph will be taken of the biopsy proven BCC.
After the completion of skin imaging, patients will undergo simulation and tumor radiotherapy. An equivalent total dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) of 45-46 Gy will be delivered for treatment.
