“…The use of dermatoscope increased over time (68% of cases in 2010 to 87% in 2017; P < 0.001). In 2017, the lesion was detected by the dermatologist in 45% (vs. 27% in 2010; P = 0.001) consistent with earlier diagnosis and better prognosis . In total, 9% of participants had more than 50% melanocytic nevi, 40% actinic lentigines in the chest/back, 19% atypical melanocytic nevi, and 7% actinic keratosis.…”

“…20 O número de lesões identificadas por dermatologista foi aumentando ao longo dos anos, em detrimento das lesões detectadas pelo paciente, o que se poderá dever a um maior treino em dermatoscopia que poderá resultar num diagnóstico mais precoce de lesões malignas. 35 O número de pacientes que nunca foi submetido a exame cutâneo completo antes do rastreio do Euromelanoma (70%) é elevado quando comparado com outros estudos. 27 A sobrevivência do melanoma está relacionada com a sua espessura, e o exame cutâneo completo parece reduzir a incidência de melanomas espessos.…”

“…A promising avenue for decreasing the frequency of unimaged melanomas was suggested by Avilés-Izquierdo et al who found that men over 70 years old are a logical target for melanoma detection education. 16 Structured programs or informational communications may increase patient awareness and encourage FBSE during PCP checkups.…”
