How doctors stage and treat skin cancer differently
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how different doctors diagnose and plan treatment for basal cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer). Researchers want to understand if doctors make similar or different decisions about the same cases, and whether that affects patient care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (confirmed by biopsy)
- Your cancer is stage IIA through IIIC (early to intermediate stages)
- You have good-quality diagnostic images (photos or scans) of your skin cancer available
- You are willing to let doctors review your case as part of this study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how people with advanced basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer that is hard to treat or has spread) are cared for and what happens over time. It does not test any new treatments, but helps doctors learn more about the disease.
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.
This study tests a new imaging tool called LC-OCT to see if it helps doctors remove all skin cancer during Mohs surgery. It might reduce the need for extra surgeries by giving clearer pictures in real time.
This study uses information from a European registry to learn how real-world treatments work for advanced non-melanoma skin cancers. It may help doctors improve care in the future, especially for people who have had surgery and radiation or who cannot have curative treatments.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D before a special light therapy (photodynamic therapy) can help your body fight nonmelanoma skin cancers like basal or squamous cell cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery to remove a skin tumor.
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.
