Abstract
Current recommendations by the United States Preventive Services Task Force do not support screening for skin cancer. Melanoma is unique among cancers because detection is through visual inspection. Development of technologies that aid visual inspection have supported screening strategies in high-risk populations such as older fair skinned males with personal or family history of melanoma. Clearly delineating these populations and appropriate utilization of these newer technologies will be imperative in future screening paradigms.Keywords
