New Study: Swedish Nevisense can reduce follow-up visits by half for difficult-to-diagnose lesions in melanoma detection
A new Australian study, using the Swedish instrument Nevisense, showed it is possible to reduce the number of cases that require digital dermoscopy follow-up by almost half. In addition Nevisense detected most melanoma three months earlier than traditional methods. Nevisense thereby constitutes a valuable complement to a visual exam with a dermatoscope. The study consisted of 118 patients with 160 lesions, and the results will be presented for the first time at the World Congress on Cancers of the Skin in Vienna on September 1.Malignant melanoma is often difficult to detect, and early
