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 is testing whether a special type of scan (called D-OCT) can accurately detect and classify a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this scan can diagnose the cancer without needing a biopsy.
This study is looking at how well a new skin imaging tool called LC-OCT works in everyday skin cancer clinics in the Netherlands. It will help doctors understand if this tool can accurately identify skin cancers without needing as many biopsies.
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 uses a special eye scan (OCT) to take detailed pictures of growths on the eye's surface. The goal is to see if this scan can help tell which growths are cancerous without needing a biopsy.
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.
