BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
The incidence and mortality from melanoma continue to rise worldwide. Unfortunately, there is still no consistently effective treatment for metastatic disease. The fact that survival for melanoma has increased dramatically over the last 30 years highlights the importance of early detection of this malignancy.
CONCLUSION
With continued public education and the advent of new technologies, it is hoped that we will be able to improve on what has been accomplished to date to reduce the health burden of melanoma even further. This article reviews issues related to patient and physician detection of melanoma and highlights newer technologies being used for this purpose.
背景与目的
黑色素瘤的发病率和死亡率在全球范围内持续上升。不幸的是，转移性疾病仍然没有始终有效的治疗方法。在过去 30 年中，黑色素瘤的生存率显著提高这一事实突出了早期发现这种恶性肿瘤的重要性。
结论
通过持续的公众教育和新技术的出现，我们有望在迄今所取得的成就的基础上进一步提高，以减轻黑色素瘤的健康负担。本文综述了与患者和医生检测黑色素瘤相关的问题，并强调了用于此目的的新技术。
