Lesion-directed screening to optimize skin cancer detection in dermatology practice: an observational study.

An early-access dermatology consultation for LDS after triage by phone resulted in high overall skin cancer and melanoma detection rates. Our data indicate that performing TBE is especially useful if the index lesion is suspicious. In addition to surveillance programs in high-risk patients, LDS may be a way to optimize skin cancer detection in the general population and use available time more efficiently in daily dermatology practice.
