The NYU Post-Graduate Medical School and the highly esteemed Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology, which is the first U.S. hospital to have embraced the MoleSafe method, hosted Advances in Dermatology last month for dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons and residents. The goal of the 2-day symposium was to feature findings and lectures with an “unbiased and provocative perspective.” For that reason, I’m particularly proud that the MoleSafe protocol and our revolutionary “View Software” was included in a morning dedicated to information on melanoma and advances in early detection.
The Right View
“View” lets physicians examine images WHILE the patient is in the office for an exam, which enables not only a more thorough exam by the doctor, but more information back to patients in real-time. [Read more in my post from November, when View was unveiled at the International Dermoscopy Society Conference.]
Previously, even with a dermatoscope, doctors reviewed only a few moles and could never be fully confident that their naked eye scrutiny discerned some of the finer, or questionable moles. For dermatologists who refer patients to MoleSafe for a comprehensive and state-of-the-art screening, this software is available for use in their offices at no charge. We just feel it is imperative to bring the opportunity for the best options for melanoma detection to as many patients as possible…and View enables a more clear, super enlarged view of all moles for doctor review, with the ability to pause on any questionable areas and compare the patient’s actual skin along side the macro images that have been delivered to the screen.
Based on the feedback we’ve gotten, this looks to be revolutionizing doctor/patient relationships and the very process of screening for earlier detection of melanomas, especially among high risk patients.
We encourage all of our readers to review the MoleSafe web site FAQs, and to take advantage of the increasing ways and places to get the most efficacious skin cancer examination… and help us make early, accurate detection a team effort among patients, their doctors, and technology.
