Skin Cancer Face Clinical Trial
Official title:
Lanugo Hair Loss as a Marker for Peri-ocular Malignancy
Skin cancers around the eye are common, but so are other lid lumps. It is useful to be able
to tell which lumps are likely to be cancer.
This study looks at whether the loss of fine hairs (lanugo hairs) on the skin are a good
indicator of whether a lump is a skin cancer or not.
The investigators are recruiting patients who have lid lumps who haven't had a biopsy before,
who would be having a biopsy as part of their treatment, and seeing whether those who have
loss of the fine skin hairs are the same as those who have skin cancer confirmed on their
biopsy.
The study doesn't involve any extra examinations or treatments for participants. The
investigators look at the patients before the biopsy as part of their usual care, and take a
note of whether or not they have lost the fine hairs at this stage.
The main benefit of participating is that the medical community has better evidence about
which lid lumps are likely to represent skin cancer, helping future diagnosis.
There are no additional risks to participating. The risks of biopsy are unchanged whether
patients participate in the study or not.
The study is run from the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion in Edinburgh, in conjunction with
Moorfields Eye Hospital, London
The investigators aim to start the study in Spring 2018, and will most likely recruit for 6
months depending on the number of participants recruited.
There is no additional funding from any source at present - the work will be undertaken by
doctors in their research time.
