Studying skin biopsies with advanced microscopy
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a skin biopsy (punch, shave, or excisional) for a reason other than melanoma or an unusual mole.
- Your biopsy sample must be at least 1 mm thick and 2 mm long.
- Your biopsy should be in one piece, not multiple pieces in one container.

This study uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in more detail. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better and improve future diagnoses.
This trial is testing a new microscope technique that may help doctors see more clearly whether all cancer cells have been removed during standard skin cancer surgery. It could help make sure the surgery is successful the first time.
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 is a pilot research study that uses a non-invasive skin imaging technique to look at skin details using multiphoton microscopy. It may help researchers improve how skin is studied, without needing surgery or injections in most cases.
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 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.
