Dr V.’s Mission to Combat Malignant Melanoma When I entered dermatology in 1995, over 20 years ago, I made it my mission to combat and eliminate death from Therefore, my mission is to disseminate my knowledge acquired in the last decades in diagnosing thin melanomas. I believe the following factors are extremely important, and I will start with E, which stands for “experience”, “expertise” and “evolution”; F, which stands for “funny looking moles”; G, which stands for “genetics”, realizing that information about the genetics of the family is critical; H, which stands for “history”, including personal history, past history, family history, environmental history and social history, and I, which stands for “instinct”. Applying the first five criteria, we are finding a higher rate of invasive melanomas. Applying the last five criteria, we have reduced the rate of invasive melanomas and metastatic melanomas to under 5%, and the prognosis of these cases is excellent.
