Test a high-detail eye-like scan on skin tumors before biopsy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a high-resolution scan (called OCT) to better see skin tumors before they’re removed or biopsied. It may help doctors evaluate both non-pigmented and pigmented skin spots that look like possible skin cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have a skin spot or tumor that looks suspicious for skin cancer and needs a biopsy or full removal
- The visit will include a high-resolution OCT scan of the area
- Or, you have a non-cancerous skin tumor planned for removal because of irritation, concern, or cosmetic reasons
- You are willing and able to participate in all study assessments, including the OCT scan

This trial tests noninvasive imaging methods to look at skin and mouth (mucosal) conditions. It may help doctors better see changes in these areas without taking tissue samples.
This study tests a special camera (D-OCT) that takes detailed pictures of suspicious skin spots to see if it can help doctors identify and classify a common skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma. If you have a spot that might be non-melanoma skin cancer or a pre-cancer, and your doctor already plans to scan and biopsy it, you may be able to join.
This trial uses a special optical imaging scan to help diagnose skin cancer without needing a biopsy. It may be a good option if you have a suspicious skin lesion.
This study looks at how well a new skin imaging tool (LC-OCT) works in everyday care for people being treated for skin cancer at Mohs clinics in the Netherlands. If you had this test and have follow-up information, your data could help doctors understand how useful the test really is.
This study is testing a new imaging technology that helps surgeons see if all the cancer cells have been removed during Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma. It may help improve accuracy and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
This trial tests whether a special, very high-magnification dermoscopy tool can help doctors better diagnose skin tumors. It may improve accuracy during routine skin cancer screening.
