Raman Spectroscopy and Skin Cancer (NCT06384924)
Pilot Study of Raman Spectroscopic Imaging for Skin Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this observational study is to find out if Raman Spectroscopy, a type of imaging, can be used to determine the size of skin cancer tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: -Can Raman Spectroscopy help figure out how far a tumor spreads? This study will take measurements using laser light from an experimental, handheld probe by lightly touching the skin.
