Skin stiffness test before skin cancer removal
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures how stiff your skin is before you have a suspicious mole or skin spot removed. It may help doctors better understand skin cancer and plan your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are being followed at the Henri Mondor University Hospital plastic surgery department.
- You have a suspicious skin spot that your doctor thinks could be skin cancer (like basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma).
- You are scheduled to have the spot removed with surgery as part of your normal care.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a device that takes a close-up picture of a suspicious mole to estimate how deep the melanoma is before surgery. This might help doctors plan surgery more accurately.
This study tests whether patients with moderate-thickness skin melanoma need additional surgery after their initial tumor removal, or if careful monitoring alone is enough. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery while keeping patients safe.
This study is testing a handheld device that scans skin lesions to help detect melanoma. If you have a spot that your doctor thinks could be melanoma, this study will see how well the device works compared to standard checks.
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 study is testing a new, very detailed skin imaging method (super-high magnification dermoscopy) to see if it helps doctors diagnose skin tumors more accurately during routine mole checks. If you are already coming for a skin screening, this might help improve how skin cancers are found.
