Optical Imaging Scans for the Diagnosis of Skin Cancer in Patients With Lesions

Optical scans for diagnosing skin cancer in patients with lesions.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study checks how well a new kind of scan called quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (qOBM) works to help doctors find skin cancer. **qOBM** is a tool that uses red light to look at the skin without surgery. It's like taking a picture of your skin from the inside! In this study, people with skin spots (called lesions) will have the qOBM scan. If you have skin cancer, you might have more scans before, during, or after your usual cancer treatment.

Key Points:

  • The study involves multiple visits for scans, possibly over a year.
  • Participants must be 18 or older with skin lesions.
  • Those who've had surgery or radiation on the lesion area cannot join.

If you join, you'll help doctors learn if this scan works better than other methods to find out if a lesion is cancerous or not. This study could help improve how quickly and easily doctors can diagnose skin cancer, but it involves several visits and scans.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
