Abstract
La incidencia del melanoma ha crecido en las últimas décadas a un ritmo mayor que la de cualquier otro tipo de cáncer. A pesar de representar apenas el 4% de todos los cánceres de piel, las muertes por melanoma representan el 80% de las muertes por cáncer cutáneo. La falta de un tratamiento eficaz en el caso de los estadios avanzados acentúa la importancia del diagnóstico precoz, en la fase en la que el paciente es curado con la extirpación quirúrgica del tumor. La dermatoscopia nos permite visualizar estructuras imperceptibles al ojo desnudo, de forma que es posible detectar cambios sugestivos de malignidad en una fase muy incipiente, cuando aún no se aprecian cambios clínicos en las lesiones pigmentadas...
In recent decades, the incidence of melanoma has grown at a higher rate than any other type of cancer. Despite representing only 4% of all skin cancers, melanoma-related deaths account for 80% of all skin cancer deaths. The lack of an effective treatment in advanced stages accentuates the importance of early diagnosis, in the phase in which the patient is cured with the surgical removal of the tumor. Dermatoscopy allows us to visualize imperceptible structures to the naked eye, so that it is possible to detect changes suggestive of malignancy in a very incipient phase, when clinical changes in pigmented lesions have not yet been observed. Digital dermatoscopy consists in the analysis of pigmented lesions using a photographic or video camera coupled with a sophisticated software system and a computer that allows us to store the images...
