Skin Cancer Risk Is Increased by Somatic Mutations Detected Noninvasively in Healthy-Appearing Sun-Exposed Skin Open
Skin cancer risk is increased by exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Because UVR exposure accumulates over time and lighter skin is more susceptible to UVR, age and skin tone are risk factors for skin cancer. However, measurements of …

Genomic Evaluation of Clinically Ambiguous Pigmented Lesions. Open
The clinical evaluation of pigmented lesions represents a 'high-stakes' scenario as a missed melanoma can be fatal. Traditional clinical assessment visually sorts pigmented lesions into those that merit a biopsy and those that do not. In o…

Non-Invasive Genomic Profiling in Pediatric Patients Open
Background:Pigmented lesions with clinical features suspicious for melanoma are not uncommon in pediatric patients. Evaluation of these lesions is complicated by the low prevalence of pediatric melanoma and challenges associated with perfo…
