The Value of Total Body Photography for the Early Detection of Melanoma: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Early detection of melanoma is critical to reduce the mortality and morbidity rates of this tumor. Total body photography (TBP) may aid in the early detection of melanoma. To summarize the current evidence on TBP for the early detection of melanoma, we performed a systematic literature search in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) for eligible records up to 6th August 2020. Outcomes of interest included melanoma incidence, incisional and excisional biopsy rates, as… Show more

“…• Research on Total Body Images: While there has been some research towards detecting and tracking skin lesions over time in 2D wide-field images (Mirzaalian et al, 2016;Li et al, 2017;Korotkov et al, 2019;Soenksen et al, 2021) and in 3D total body images (Bogo et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2022), simultaneous segmentation of skin lesions from total body images would help with early detection of melanoma (Halpern, 2003;Hornung et al, 2021), thus improving patient outcomes.…”

“…This technology can provide a 2-D or 3-D reconstruction of the entire skin surface making it possible to follow up patients with a high number of atypical melanocytic lesions in a relatively short time and to increase the accuracy of the early diagnosis of melanoma [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ] ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).…”

“…Durch einen detailgenauen Vergleich der Läsionen bei späteren Untersuchungen können im Verlauf auftretende dynamische Veränderungen bestehender Nävi sowie Neuentstehungen von Pigmentmalen erfasst werden. Damit wird Studien zufolge die Detektion dünner Melanome bei Patienten mit multiplen Nävi deutlich verbessert und die Exzisionsrate gutartiger Hautläsionen verringert 5 .…”
