  • the number of skin cancer has more than double for the last 20 years. This is a cancer that has 95% chance to recover if detected at early stage. Melanoma and skin cancer are the only cancer that can be detected visually and with non invasive methods.
  • Dermatoscopy is a rather a recent method (really used at large scale only after the year 2000) used to detect skin cancer at early stage. This method can reach a sensitivity of detection of > 95 %in sensitivity with a well trained dermatologist. This method is used more and more often by the specialist but requires some good training to be efficient. But the sensitivity level of detection is such higher versus the other method that this should be much broadly used.
