Optical scans for skin cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a skin lesion that needs to be checked
- You have not had surgery or radiation to that same area before

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 uses special cameras and light to look at skin growths and help doctors diagnose skin cancer. It may be a way to better understand your skin without taking a sample.
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 looks at images of a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma to see if certain features in the images can help predict how deep the cancer has grown. This might help doctors plan treatment without needing extra tests.
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.
