Importance The comparative diagnostic performance of dermoscopic algorithms and their
individual criteria are not well studied. Objectives To analyze the discriminatory power and …

Importance Dermoscopy increases the diagnostic accuracy for melanoma. However, the
accuracy of individual structures and patterns used in melanoma detection has not been …

Background: Dermoscopy used by experts has been demonstrated to improve the
diagnostic accuracy for melanoma. However, little is known about the diagnostic validity of …

Importance Understanding the contribution of the ugly duckling sign (a nevus that is
obviously different from the others in a given individual) in intrapatient comparative analysis …

BACKGROUND: The color, architecture, symmetry, and homogeneity (CASH) algorithm for
dermoscopy includes a feature not used in prior algorithms, namely, architecture …

Objective To compare dermoscopic features of melanocytic nevi with those of early
melanomas that were not excised initially because of their uncharacteristic clinical and …

Background Most dermoscopic algorithms to diagnose melanoma were established more
than 10 years ago and have been tested primarily on clear‐cut melanomas and excised …

Objective To assess 4 dermoscopy methods in a nonexpert setting. Design Sixty-one
medical practitioners, mainly primary care physicians in Australia, were trained in 4 …

Importance The accuracy of melanoma-specific dermoscopic criteria has been tested mainly
in studies including invasive tumors. Scarce evidence exists on the usefulness of these …

Background Digital dermoscopy monitoring (DDM) helps to recognize melanomas lacking
specific dermoscopic features at baseline, but the number of melanomas eventually …
