To contribute to achieving this goal, the present study is the first to investigate the potential of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) as a method of optical biopsy for cSCC.}, year = {2026}, booktitle = {Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery}, journal = {Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery}, volume = {30}, pages = {21+}, month = {2026/01/31}, isbn = {1865-1569}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s10006-026-01506-y}, doi = {10.1007/s10006-026-01506-y}, }
