Digital Dermoscopy Technology In Precise Early Melanoma Detection - Prognosis And New Treatment Options

Melanoma is a malignant skin disease. Melanoma is difficult to be detected in the early stage, and it is difficult to cure once this disease develops to the late stage. The mortality rate of patients with advanced melanoma is as high as 98%. Melanoma dermatosis can be effectively controlled by early screening and timely treatment. However, due to the unsufficient educated population and uneven distribution of medical resources in Romania, it is difficult for most melanoma patients to get early diagnosis and treatment from doctors. Therefore, it is necessary to study the computer-aided diagnosis technology of melanoma. Material and methods: 32 patients in 2 years (18 male and 14 female), age 24-63, multiple nevi all over the body, new dermatoscopy scanning for the bigger ones, history of sun exposure, dust and toxic agents, 2019-2021. Aim: corellate the early diagnosis of melanoma with the best treatment options and survival rate. Results: all the patients had melanoma detected in early stages (I and IInd) and could benefit from radical surgery and good treatment in oncology department with a good outcome after 1 year. Conclusion: early detection and constant scanning with the aid of dermatoscopy of all the nevi all over the body save lives. Not even one patient had any idea that their nevi could be a melanoma, the diagnosis was a total surprise, but the outcome was good, the survival rate also.
