Developing Handheld Skin Cancer Diagnostic Technology

Skin cancer diagnosis and treatment can be a multi-step process of repeated biopsies and surgeries. There is one imaging technology, called a Confocal Microscope, that can take the repetition out of the process and enable a doctor to identify the cancer cells more accurately before and during surgery. The University of Arizona Cancer Center is working to create the next generation of that technology.
