Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Field cancerization involves subclinical skin abnormalities from chronic UV exposure.
  • These abnormalities surround clinically visible actinic keratoses (AKs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a hyperspectral imaging (HIS) system for detecting multiple clinical and subclinical AKs.
  • To enable early treatment of UV-damaged skin areas.

Main Methods:

  • 12 patients with 52 clinical AKs were studied.
  • HIS and digital photography were used, with methylaminolevulinate (MAL)-fluorescence diagnosis to guide HIS.
  • Biopsies confirmed HIS findings in clinical AKs, healthy skin, and suspected subclinical lesions.

Main Results:

  • HIS successfully detected all 52 visible AKs and numerous subclinical lesions.
  • Histopathology confirmed AKs (28) or photodamage (5) in 33 biopsied lesions.
  • 16 of the 28 confirmed AKs were subclinical, validated by HIS.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperspectral imaging (HIS) provides a novel, non-invasive approach for early field cancerization detection.
  • This technology can identify subclinical precancerous lesions, facilitating prompt treatment.
