Brief Summary:
1. Purpose and objective: Determine spectroscopic differences between tumor, dysplasia, and normal cutaneous tissue as assessed by histopathologic diagnosis. If successful, the optical measurements could be used to survey for and delineate the extent of malignancies in a noninvasive manner.
2. Study activities and population group: Competent adults with a clinically suspicious skin lesion who are undergoing a biopsy as part of their routine care. For those who agree to participate, the sterilized portable optical spectroscopic probe will be used to measure diffuse reflectance on the lesion of clinical interest.
3. Data analysis and risk/safety issues: The optical spectrometer does not breach any skin defense barrier. As this study involves noninvasive optical measurements of tissues, no significant safety concerns are anticipated. Qualitative analysis will be performed to describe whether there is correlation between spectroscopy measurements and pathologic diagnosis. A variety of correlative statistics will be explored to determine if there are relationships found that can justify a larger study

Detailed Description:
This is a pilot study to determine the optical spectroscopy characteristics of tumor in patients with cutaneous malignancies. These spectroscopy measurements will be compared with pathological diagnosis of tissue biopsies from the same site. If successful, the optical measurements could be used to survey for and delineate the extent of malignancies in a noninvasive manner. This would be especially helpful for clinic visits where suspicious lesions are seen and would otherwise require biopsy for diagnosis. Immediate benefits would include patients with numerous suspicious skin lesions who would require multiple biopsies.
Further spectroscopy measurements of the tumor site and adjacent normal tissue during therapy (chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy) may provide useful information pertinent to tumor physiology and therapeutic effectiveness.
