Interventions

  • Raman Spectroscopy handheld probe (EmVision, FL, USA) — DEVICE
    The probe is approximately the size of a pen or pencil. The handheld probe is connected to the laser source using a cable. The probe is placed in light contact with the skin. The features of the laser light after it bounces off the skin is collected. This measurement can allow us to see tissue characteristics. This is a single session that will take approximately 15 minutes.
  • Raman Spectroscopy laser source (Hubner Photonics Inc, CA, USA) — DEVICE
    This light source will create the laser light that will pass through the cable and through the handheld probe onto the skin.

Study Details

The goal of this observational study is to find out if Raman Spectroscopy, a type of imaging, can be used to determine the size of skin cancer tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: -Can Raman Spectroscopy help figure out how far a tumor spreads? This study will take measurements using laser light from an experimental, handheld probe by lightly touching the skin.
