Studying skin cancer tumors after surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a type of skin cancer called primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
- The cancer is not on your eyelid, vulva, penis, or near the anus.
- The planned surgery will remove a tumor that is 60 mm (about 2.4 inches) or smaller.

This study looks at how doctors stage (classify the extent of) a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. You may be helping researchers by allowing your clinical data to be used for research.
This trial studies a blood test (ctDNA) in people with a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if the test can help track the cancer and guide treatment decisions.
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.
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 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 study tests whether using a special ultrasound before surgery helps doctors remove all of the skin cancer from the head or neck area in one go. It may reduce the chance that cancer cells are left behind and lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
