Melanoma surveillance for high-risk patients via telemedicine: Examination of real-world data from an integrated store-and-forward total body photography and dermoscopy service

Abstract

To the Editor: Patients with clinically atypical and increased numbers of nevi may pose a diagnostic and management challenge to dermatologists. Sequential digital dermoscopic imaging and total body photography facilitate the identification of early-stage melanomas and minimize biopsies of benign lesions.1 We recently reported the performance of a proprietary, New Zealand-based telemedicine platform (MoleMap NZ) that integrates total body photography and dermoscopy to help address the country's high incidence of melanoma.
