Light-Based eye scan may spot skin cancer without a knife

NCT ID NCT06279143

First seen Jun 04, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 04, 2026

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive imaging tool called dermal optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) to diagnose basal cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer) around the eye area. Researchers compared its accuracy to standard biopsy results in 210 adults with suspected lesions. The goal was to see if D-OCT could reliably detect cancer without needing a tissue sample, potentially offering a faster and less invasive option.
