Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a noninvasive method that aims to help diagnose skin cancer. The EIS device consists of a handheld probe with a disposable electrode that is applied…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a novel noninvasive imaging device that allows for the real-time, in vivo, cross-sectional imaging of skin morphology. OCT has increased imaging depth and field…
Biopsy and histologic evaluation have been the gold standard to diagnose skin tumors. Reflectance confocal microcopy (RCM) is a noninvasive, innovative diagnostic technique that enables visualization of different skin layers…
Multispectral analysis devices assess pigmented lesion disorganization at different levels using variable wavelengths of light. Computerized algorithms measure morphologic disorganization of the pigmented skin lesion. Aggregated data of 855 participants…
Identifying new or changing melanocytic lesions, particularly in patients with numerous or atypical nevi, can be challenging. Total-body photography and sequential digital dermoscopy imaging, together known as digital follow-up, are…
The large-scale deployment of low-cost, noninvasive mechanisms of early detection are needed to reduce the melanoma burden. A serial 2-step system could power mass screening efforts serving the uninsured and…
Dermoscopy increases the sensitivity for skin cancer detection, decreases the number of benign lesions biopsied for each malignant diagnosis, and enables the diagnosis of thinner melanomas compared with naked eye…
The annual incidence rate for melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer continues to rise and morbidity and deaths from skin cancer are increasing. Despite advances in therapeutics, the factors that most…
Aaron S. Farberg, MD, Editor Darrell S. Rigel, MD, MS, Editor Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy, with its annual incidence greater than that of all other forms…
