Solar Scan (R) for the detection and monitoring of melanoma
Parrella, A
Record ID 32006000639
English
Authors' results and conclusions:
There is the potential for this technology to benefit a large number of patients, based on the high burden of skin cancer and the cost of detecting and treating melanoma and other skin cancers in the Australian population. However, the safety and effectiveness of this technology cannot be determined until further studies with the SolarScan are published.
Authors' recommendations:
Technology is already diffusing into the Australian health system and will not impact significantly in the terms of policy or cost burden. HealthPACT recommends this technology be archived.
