Skin exam and biopsy for non-melanoma skin tumors
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at skin tumors that are not melanoma. It uses a special skin exam (dermoscopy) and a biopsy to understand these tumors better. You may join if you have already had these tests and have a confirmed diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a skin tumor that is not melanoma (a type of skin cancer).
- You are of any age or gender.
- You have had a dermoscopy exam (a special skin exam using a magnifying device) that showed something unusual.
- You have had a biopsy (a small sample taken) that gave a definite diagnosis.

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 trial uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in new ways. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better without needing extra procedures.
This trial compares two ways of marking skin before removing a non-melanoma skin cancer: using a special magnifying tool called a dermoscope versus the standard method. The goal is to see which method helps remove the cancer completely the first time.
This study is testing a new, very detailed skin imaging method (super-high magnification dermoscopy) to see if it helps doctors diagnose skin tumors more accurately during routine mole checks. If you are already coming for a skin screening, this might help improve how skin cancers are found.
This study looks at skin spots that might be unusual moles or early melanoma using a special microscope that sees deep into the skin. It aims to match these microscope images with genetic information to better understand these spots.
This study uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in more detail. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better and improve future diagnoses.
