Could a simple skin zap spot melanoma sooner?
NCT ID NCT04705168
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a device called Nevisense, which measures the electrical properties of moles, can help doctors better assess suspicious moles during routine skin checks. Forty adults with many moles (at least 100) and several large moles took part. The goal is to improve early detection of melanoma, a serious skin cancer, in people at higher risk.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (\> 30 years of age) at the time of the initial study visit. * Patients displaying a phenotype that consists of ≥ 100 nevi on the entire cutaneous surface and at least three large acquired nevi (LAN) \> 5 mm in diameter. These patients have "atypical mole syndrome", which is a high-risk nevus phenotype and the target patient population in this study. * Patients with at least three clinically stable nevi between 5 and 20 mm in diameter. * Patients (or LAR) who are able to provide informed consent. * Patients with previous total body photography images taken at least 3 years prior Exclusion Criteria: * Patients without at least three clinically stable nevi between 5 and 20 mm in diameter. * Patients with any electronic implantable devices. * Patients who are pregnant (verbally confirmed with the participant).
