Skin cancer—the importance of prevention

Ce dossier présente la mise à jour des recommandations de l'"US Preventive Services Task Force" en matière de dépistage des cancers de la peau

In 2009, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) found insufficient evidence to recommend skin examinations for the early detection of skin cancer in adults. The conclusion followed from a systematic review of the effectiveness and harms of clinical visual skin examinations by physicians or patient self-examinations in terms of morbidity and mortality from skin cancer.
