Persistence of partner-assisted skin self-examination supported by "being in this together": a randomized trial.

Persistence of partner-assisted skin self-examination supported by "being in this together": a randomized trial. Br J Dermatol. 2020 Mar 28;: Authors: Robinson JK, Abou-El-Seoud D, Reavy R, Turrisi R, Mallett KA Abstract Since approximately 12% of melanoma survivors will develop another melanoma, skin self-examination (SSE) is relevant.1,2 Structured SSE training with a partner may overcome challenges including a) motivation to undertake SSE; b) competence to recognize concerning lesions, and c) difficulty with long-term maintenance (≥1 year).3,4 Partner-assisted SSE and subsequent clinical presentation to a dermatologist for concerning moles rely on self-management, adoption of decision rules, and taking appropriate action.
