Dermoscopic features and cancer depth in skin cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial looks at how dermoscopic images (special magnified photos of the skin) can help predict the depth and features of squamous cell carcinoma. If you have had this type of skin cancer fully removed with surgery and have clear images taken before the surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 100 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) that was confirmed by a biopsy.
- The entire skin lesion was removed with surgery.
- Your doctor has a report that includes the grade of the cancer and how deep it is.
- High-quality dermoscopic images (special magnified photos) of the lesion were taken before surgery.

This trial looks at skin cancer tumors removed during surgery to better understand how they grow. It may help you if you are an adult with a common type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma that is not in a sensitive area and is not too large.
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 trial tests a device placed on skin cancer lesions to see which drugs might work best. It is for people with visible squamous cell carcinoma on the skin, including lesions that have come back after radiation.
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.
This trial tests a new device (Dermalyser) that estimates how thick a suspected melanoma is by analyzing a dermoscopy image. It may help doctors plan surgery without needing extra procedures.
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.
