Title: | UK Dermoscopy Study |
Project Description: | Melanoma accounts for 90% of skin cancer mortality and typically presents in primary care, where it can be challenging to distinguish from benign lesions. Dermoscopy is a tool for skin visualization that is routinely used for melanoma diagnosis in secondary care. However, the role of dermoscopy in primary care remains unclear. This survey, sent via online questionnaire looked to determine views on dermoscopy and its use by dermatology-interested general practitioners . |
