Brief Summary: RATIONALE New diagnostic procedures such as bioelectric field imaging may help find and diagnose melanoma and other skin cancers It may also be a less invasive way to check for skin cancer

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying bioelectric field imaging in diagnosing melanoma and other skin cancers in patients with skin lesions
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

To determine if the hand-held Bioelectric Field Imager can be used to measure the electric field in skin of various body surfaces including face neck shoulders arms hands chest back legs and feet during the course of examination and treatment of patients with suspected malignant skin lesions
To determine if there is a significant difference between the lateral electric field strength near benign and malignant skin lesions in the same individual

OUTLINE Patients undergo scanning of their skin lesions and nearby healthy skin using the Bioelectric Field Imager BFI The lesions are then biopsied for histological diagnosis Histological data from the biopsy is correlated with the electric field data from the BFI
