  • Practical Considerations of Melanoma/Skin Cancer Screening Clinics
    Dermatology (Basel Switzerland), 1992
    Co-Authors: F.h.j. Rampen, B.e.w.l. Van Huystee, Lambertus A. Kiemeney
    Abstract:

    In 1989 a voluntary Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening clinic was held in Oss, the Netherlands. The campaign was carried out according to the free clinics conducted since 1985 in the USA. Our experiences with the first clinic urged us to improve on the organization of the screen. This produced a better yield of the second screen, conducted in 1990 in Arnhem. In this paper we present the practical and organizational implications of Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening based on both screening exercises. It is emphasized that only dermatologists should screen. Concomitant public education will enhance self-selection of people at risk for Melanoma/Skin Cancer. There should be ample provider time, sufficient auxiliary personnel and abundant examination rooms. Total-body Skin examination is optional. Follow-up of positive screenees is mandatory. It is concluded that Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening is feasible, particularly in countries with a high dermatologist-to-patient ratio.

  • Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening clinics: Experiences in the Netherlands
    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1991
    Co-Authors: F.h.j. Rampen, B.e.w.l. Van Huystee, Lambertus A. Kiemeney
    Abstract:

    In 1989 and 1990 we conducted two free Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening clinics in Oss and Arnhem in the Netherlands. The study was carried out along the lines of the recent campaigns supported by the American Academy of Dermatology. Of 2564 persons screened, 53 had Melanoma or nonMelanoma Skin Cancer (2.1%). Compliance with follow-up for persons with suspected Melanoma/Skin Cancer was adequate (93 of 103; 90.3%).

  • Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening in a Mediterranean country: results of the EuroMelanoma Screening Day Campaign in Greece.
    Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology : JEADV, 2007
    Co-Authors: Alexandros Stratigos, Vasiliki Nikolaou, S Kedicoglou, Ch. Antoniou, I. Stefanaki, G Haidemenos, Andreas Katsambas
    Abstract:

    Background  Since the year 2000 a Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening campaign has been organized annually in Greece in the context of the EuroMelanoma Screening Day Campaign. Objectives  We aimed to analyse the characteristics of the screened population, to recognize relevant risk factors and to identify the cases of histologically confirmed malignant Melanoma (MM) in individuals with suspicious Skin lesions. Methods  An analysis of the completed screening forms from the years 2000–2004 was performed with respect to relevant demographic, epidemiological and clinical data. Results  A total of 9723 individuals were screened, most of whom where below the age of 50 years (71%), female (59%), and of Skin phototype II and III (76%). Sunburn during childhood was reported in 47% of participants, while 5% of the screened population had a personal or family history of Melanoma. On clinical examination, 14.4% had actinic keratoses, 31.2% had dysplastic nevi, while 6.4% carried a presumptive diagnosis of non-Melanoma Skin Cancer. In the 2003–2004 screening campaign, 19 out of the 171 clinically suspicious lesions were histologically proven to be MM, the majority of which (58%) were ‘thin’ Melanomas (Breslow's thickness of ≤ 1 mm) of the superficial spreading type. Conclusions  Our study suggested that, a Melanoma/Skin Cancer screening programme in a Mediterranean country, supported by an intense publicity campaign, attracted many individuals at risk for Skin Cancer and detected mostly thin Melanomas of the superficial spreading type.
