Light-based imaging to help diagnose skin cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a skin cancer (like basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma) or actinic keratosis (a rough, sun-damaged spot).
- You are 18 years old or older.

This trial uses advanced imaging to take detailed pictures of your skin. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose skin conditions.
This study tests a way for doctors to send clear images of your skin spot to be reviewed remotely using teledermoscopy (digital images of the skin). It may help speed up specialist input and improve how skin spots are assessed.
This trial is testing a special light-based technique (Raman spectroscopy) to see if it can help doctors better identify skin cancers. It is for people with either basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled to receive brachytherapy treatment.
This trial uses a special camera to measure the composition and structure of the skin without any needles or cuts. It helps researchers understand how skin varies between people.
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 tests a new special camera that shines a safe light on the skin to take detailed pictures of tissue, like the breast, without surgery. It aims to see how well this technique works in healthy people, which could help doctors in the future.
