• Status: Unknown
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 30 (estimated)
• Sponsor: McMaster University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

A prospective single-centered feasibility study will be conducted. The purpose of the feasibility study is to define the variables to be included in a subsequent pilot study, assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective cohort study, and the logistics for the study (i.e., training, patient recruitment, data collection, statistical analysis, etc.).

Detailed description

A prospective single-centered feasibility study will be conducted. The purpose of the feasibility study is to define the variables to be included in a subsequent pilot study, assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective cohort study, and the logistics for the study (i.e., training, patient recruitment, data collection, statistical analysis, etc.). Upon completion of the feasibility study, a prospective pilot cohort study would be performed to measure outcomes using the FACE-Q Skin Cancer module for patients receiving skin grafting or local flaps after excision of facial skin cancers.

Conditions

• Skin Cancer, Basal Cell
• Skin Cancer
• Skin Cancer, Non-Melanoma
• Skin Cancers - Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• Patient Satisfaction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	FACE-Q patient reported outcome	As both interventions of treatment are gold standards and clinical equipoise exists if one intervention is superior to the other, there is no true control group. However, for the purpose of the application, the local flap group will be chosen as the "control" group. Skin graft (Experimental): Participants in the experimental group will receive a skin graft and receive the FACE-Q skin cancer questionnaire pre- and post-treatment. There will also be photos taken of the patient's face along with the distributed questionnaires. Local flap (Control): Participants in the experimental group will receive a local flap and receive the FACE-Q questionnaire pre- and post-treatment.
