About this trial
This is a prospective study to assess efficacy of the Nevisense device in identifying keratinocyte skin cancer (KC) in patients suspected of having skin cancer based on the initial physician's assessment.
All skin lesions with a suspicion of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), Invasive Squamos cell Carcinoma (iSCC), Bowen's disease (BD) or actinic keratosis (AK) and destined for excision or biopsy for further histopathological analysis will be considered for inclusion in the study.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
All male or female patients of any ethnicity, ≥ 18 years with skin lesions of a clinical uncertain diagnosis suspicious for KC (such as BCC, iSCC, BD or AK)
Disqualifiers
Metastases of recurrent lesions
Lesion located on acral skin, e.g. sole or palm
Lesion located on areas of scars, crusts, psoriasis or similar skin conditions
Lesion on hair-covered areas, e.g. scalp, beards, moustaches
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Nevisense
DeviceThe Nevisense system is based on Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). EIS is a measure of the overall resistance within a skin tissue, at alternating currents of various frequencies. Since skin tissues have different electrical properties depending on cell structure and medical conditions, the resulting electrical impedance spectra will reflect the properties of the skin tissue.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Nevisense Sensitivity and Specificity
This study has two primary endpoints: 1. Sensitivity ≥ 0.90 2. Sensitivity + Specificity \> 1.0 Sensitivity is the proportion of correctly identified cases of KC. Specificity is the proportion of correctly identified cases of non-KC
