Background: Early detection and treatment of melanoma is important for optimal clinical outcome, leading to biopsy of pigmented lesions deemed suspicious for the disease. The vast majority of such lesions are benign. Thus, a more objective and accurate means for detection of melanoma is needed to identify lesions for excision.
Objective: The goal of this study is to provide proof-of-principal that epidermal genetic information retrieval (EGIRTM), a method that non-invasively samples cells from stratum corneum by means of adhesive tape stripping, can be used to discern melanomas from nevi.
Methods: Skin overlying ...
