Study Summary

This prospective study of 60 slides of basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin aims to determine whether: 1. The process of cryofixation prior to generating formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) H\&E sections alters the histology in skin tumor specimens. 2. Which specific histologic parameters are altered between previously cryofixed versus routine FFPE sections. Histologic observations will be recorded by two dermatopathologists and two Mohs surgeons and statistically analyzed.
