A Study to Evaluate the DermaSensor Tool on Skin Lesions Suggestive of Skin Cancer

Overview

About this study

The objective of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the DermaSensor device in evaluating skin lesions suggestive of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, and to compare the sensitivity of DermaSensor to that of dermatopathology and primary care physicians' empiric diagnosis.

  • Lesion has erosion and/or ulceration with no area > 2.5mm intact.
  • Lesion has foreign matter (e.g., tattoo, splinter, dermoscopy oils, or other medicated or non-medicated topical solutions).
  • Lesion in which the device tip cannot be placed entirely within the border of the targeted area.
  • Lesion located on acral skin (e.g., sole or palms).
  • Lesion located within 1 cm of the eye.
  • Lesion on or adjacent to scars, areas previously biopsied, or areas subjected to any past surgical intervention.
  • Lesion located on mucosal surfaces (e.g., genitals, lips).
  • Lesion located on acute sunburn.
  • Six (6) or more lesions suggestive of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and/or squamous cell carcinoma requiring biopsy to assess risk of malignancy.
