Your At-Risk Melanoma Patients
The MoleMapCD is recommended for patients at-risk of melanoma, including:
Personal history of melanoma and at least one of the following:
- family history (1st or 2nd degree) of melanoma
- “dysplastic” nevi (any number)
- multiple nevi (> 10)
- high patient anxiety about possibility of other lesions of the skin surface being melanoma*
Family history of melanoma (1st or 2nd degree) and at least one of the following:
- at least one clinically “dysplastic” nevus
- multiple nevi (> 10)
- evidence or significant solar damage (multiple lentigines)
Multiple “dysplastic” nevi (> 4)
Multiple prior nevus biopsies (> 4) due to concern of possible melanoma (not cosmetic)
Large congenital nevus
*Some at-risk patients are particularly anxious about real or perceived changes in their skin, which can lead to unnecessary phone calls and office visits. Others have a difficult time performing self-examinations of their skin. Both groups of patients are excellent candidates for a MoleMapCD.
