Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to correlate pathological features from specimens in order to determine if this new molecular diagnostic technique can be used to detect risk of skin cancer.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure is to correlate clinical phenotype (age, skin phototype, level of photodamage, history of prior skin cancers) with morphology and nuclear characteristics, in order to determine if this new molecular diagnostic technique can be used to detect early stages of skin carcinogenesis and identify high risk-patients.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Superficial shave biopsy
