The fifth day of melanoma took place in Orel

On April 4, the fifth Melanoma Day was held at the Beauty Clinic — an event aimed at identifying malignant skin neoplasms at an early stage.

More than 40 patients underwent a free examination by the clinic’s specialists. The diagnostics were attended by employees of the ISP RAS, as well as the chief oncologist of the region, PhD in Medicine Sergey Sergeevich Seregin and the chief physician of the clinic Elena Sergeevna Kozachok.

Particular attention was paid to the use of innovative technologies in diagnostics: the examination used the Melanoscope AI system developed by the ISP RAS employees, based on the use of artificial intelligence. It helps doctors make a diagnosis faster and more accurately by classifying skin neoplasms using trained neural networks.

Based on the results of the examination:

• 2 cases of melanoma were detected
• 5 cases of basal cell skin cancer were detected

We thank all the participants of the campaign for their trust and remind you: early diagnosis saves lives. Monitor the condition of your skin and consult a specialist at the slightest changes. The next Melanoma Day is already in development.
