99% of skin cancer deaths could have been prevented with an early diagnosis. This is not difficult, because it is possible to identify melanoma with only the eyes. In fact, visual inspection of suspicious skin lesions by a clinician using the naked eye is usually the first of a series of ‘tests’ to diagnose melanoma.
Even though it is an easy and simple test, people die from melanoma simply because they don’t have the knowledge to identify the odd moles effectively.
