Abstract

Of the major issues that dermatopathology will face in the immediate future, two powerful challenges loom large. The first is the application of novel nondestructive imaging technologies to in vivo diagnosis in humans. The second is the application of molecular technologies to a diagnostic arena which formerly belonged exclusively to the light microscopist. The first to be considered in this context is the application of near infrared spectroscopy to the noninvasive in vivo diagnosis of neoplastic skin disease. The second will be a discussion of application, methodology and the current state of the art in microarray technologies as they apply to neoplastic dermatopathology and, in particular, the diagnosis and prognostication of melanoma.
