Validación de estructuras dermatoscópicas y propuesta de algoritmo simplificado para el diagnóstico de melanoma

Zusammenfassung

Dermoscopy has proven to be a useful non-invasive diagnostic technique for the diagnosis of melanoma. Several algorithms have been described trying to reach a standard criterion for the evaluation of dermoscopic patterns and structures. Nonetheless, they often result subjective and too observer-dependent. The application of these algorithms in daily practice can be unpractical and unreliable. We present a study that focuses on analyzing the sensibility and specificity of melanoma-specific structures, to develop a model of probabilities that may help in the diagnosis of cutaneous malignancy...
