1. USING MELAFIND TO
DIAGNOSE SKIN
CANCER
Doctors Approach

2. Introduction
 Caught early, skin cancer is one of the easiest
cancers to treat. Not every general practice
doctor is skilled in detecting skin cancer, so it
is imperative to talk to a dermatologist like the
professionals at Doctor's Approach, a
Michigan dermatology clinic and medical spa.
All four of the clinical care providers at
Doctor’s Approach are trained in the use of
MelaFind.

3. MelaFind
 MelaFind is a completely pain-free device that
scans and diagnoses moles and lesions that
have the characteristics of skin cancer. The
MelaFind device uses a range of lights and
wavelengths to collect data from a skin lesion
and create a 3D view that helps determine if a
biopsy is necessary. While size and hair
coverage can make a proper diagnosis difficult
for a doctor's eye, MelaFind is able to overlook
those elements and focus solely on the lesion.

4. Conclusion
 Benefits to MelaFind include its versatility. It
can diagnose moles and lesions that are as
small as two millimeters. It also stores
information about the moles it views. When
you return to have your moles and lesions
checked in the future, your dermatologist can
quickly determine if the lesion or mole has
changed in size or appearance using
MelaFind.
