AI tool could revolutionize skin cancer detection in family clinics
NCT ID NCT06932172
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an AI system called Dermalyser that helps primary care doctors decide if a skin spot might be cancer. About 3,000 adults in five countries will take part. Doctors in some clinics will use the AI tool, while others will follow standard care. The goal is to see if AI can catch more skin cancers early and reduce unnecessary biopsies or specialist visits.
