This observational study is looking at whether a technology called Raman Spectroscopy can help doctors understand the size of skin cancer tumors. It uses a small, pen-sized handheld probe that gently touches your skin to take measurements with laser light. The goal is to see if this method can detect how far skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) has spread, even beyond what's visible. You could be eligible if you are 18 or older, have a confirmed diagnosis of basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, and are planning to receive brachytherapy (a type of radiation therapy) for your skin cancer at the study site. The study aims to determine if Raman Spectroscopy can show differences between cancerous and non-cancerous skin.

Study design

This is an observational study planning to enroll 20 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would have measurements taken with a handheld Raman Spectroscopy probe that lightly touches your skin. The record does not specify the number of visits or other procedures.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary goal of the study will be measured at 1 year.
