Researchers use lasers to detect and destroy tumor cells in melanoma patients

Yes, this is exciting news. I've had melanoma once and one incident of basal cell. I get checked regularly and had three of four biopsies in the third and fourth stages of progression towards melanoma.

Wonder why none of the doctors I've visited have mentioned Molesafe? I'll check it out when I get home.

edit: Because Molesafe is NY/NJ only.

Dysplastic Naevus Syndrome? There is a bunch of doctors/researchers who are telling that there isn't such a thing as dysplatic naevus. Well, of course you have that special looking mole, but the term "dysplatic" is misleading and also the concept that there is a development of moles from benign to cancerous. A mole was either always a melanoma (or a melanoma inside a mole) or it was and is a normal mole (and will be one).

I hope I can remember to ask my Dr. about this next time I go in.

My dermatologist is Dr. Marghoo, he writes a lot of the books on melanomas and is one of the biggest experts in the world in this matter. I think he would say it exist but I can ask him next time.
