Raman Spectroscopy and Skin Cancer

NCT06384924 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2026-05-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Raman Spectroscopy handheld probe (EmVision, FL, USA)

The probe is approximately the size of a pen or pencil. The handheld probe is connected to the laser source using a cable. The probe is placed in light contact with the skin. The features of the laser light after it bounces off the skin is collected. This measurement can allow us to see tissue characteristics. This is a single session that will take approximately 15 minutes.

DEVICE

Raman Spectroscopy laser source (Hubner Photonics Inc, CA, USA)

This light source will create the laser light that will pass through the cable and through the handheld probe onto the skin.
