Dermatologist Girish Munavalli, MD, MHS, FACMS, a prominent skin cancer surgeon in Charlotte, NC, will present results that demonstrate the unique ability of NPS technology to eliminate tumor cells in nodular BCCs while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Results will be supported by clinical photos that display a more favorable cosmetic outcome possible in a short amount of time with reduced potential for scar formation as compared to current surgical excision.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer worldwide. The nodular BCC subtype reported in this study comprises 60% of all basal cell carcinomas. For these deep nodular lesions, the current standard of care is surgical excision, which can lead to large, permanent scars.

"Early findings show promising potential for NPS technology as a new treatment option for nodular BCC. NPS technology has demonstrated equivalent therapeutic benefit and the added benefit of superior cosmetic outcomes compared to more destructive skin cancer treatment modalities, such as excision and curettage," said Dr. Munavalli of Dermatology, Laser & Vein Specialists of the Carolinas, Charlotte, NC.

"We are enthusiastic about the impressive results Nano-Pulse Stimulation technology is producing in Basal Cell Carcinomas and are focused on rapidly advancing its development program across multiple clinical applications," said Darrin Uecker, President and CEO of Pulse Biosciences. "Our presence at IMCAS represents the initial step in our commitment to international commercialization, which aims to extend our long-term growth platform and leverage the value proposition of our technology’s ability to clear benign and malignant lesions. "
