Tiny skin cancer study tests blood flow trick to boost therapy
NCT ID NCT01455363
First seen Nov 28, 2025 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This small study tested whether briefly stopping blood flow to a common skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma) could temporarily increase blood supply to the tumor. In 12 adults, researchers used a laser imaging device to measure blood flow before, during, and after a 3-minute clamp or tourniquet. The goal was to see if this could reduce tumor hypoxia, which might someday make chemotherapy or radiation more effective.
