Early melanoma detection can help improve patient outcomes

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is common in both men and women. Its ability to spread to other parts of the body makes it one of the most dangerous forms of cancer. But, if melanoma is found early, treatment can be very successful.

Screening

Quest Diagnostics offers an extensive patient education program to help with early detection of melanoma and other skin disorders, through our Dermpath Diagnostics® subsidiary. Visit SpotTheSpot.org for specific steps that patients can take to conduct self-exams and identify spots that may need to be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Diagnosis

Quest also offers dermatopathology services through Dermpath Diagnostics, one of the country’s largest dedicated dermatopathology lab networks with more than 75 board-certified dermatopathologists.
