As someone with two melanomas under my belt (and more than a 1000 moles) what I really want is the ability to do a mass scan of my body also further down at the cellular level not just looking at the moles on the surface.
I am lucky enough to have Sloan Memorial as my hospital and no other than Dr. Marghoob one of the leading experts and I actually have a scan of my body made with 50 or so High Definition Cameras (I am litterally a 3d model in blue speedos and with a white net on my head).
They have a new system where they can look at the cell level without doing a biopsy and actually found my melanoma before they did the biopsy (i.e. they knew it was melanoma before they did biopsy) but it's really a cumbersome process and I had 6 experts studying and working to position that laser properly.
So the real challenge today is how do we get the data into the system.
