Impact of Dermatologic Screening and Methods on Breslow Thickness in Melanoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Screening is associated with thinner melanomas and more in situ diagnoses. Digital mole mapping offers additional benefits, with high-risk patients profiting most, while low-risk individuals could be managed with less resource-intensive approaches. These findings support risk-adapted screening strategies focusing on intensive, digitally supported modalities for high-risk groups.
