Total Body Photography for the Diagnosis of Cutaneous Melanoma in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Available data regarding the diagnostic accuracy of TBP are heterogeneous, due to variability in the risk profile of cohorts and TBP protocols. Best current estimates suggest that TBP for diagnosing melanoma has an acceptable NNB in high-risk patients. However, prospective diagnostic test accuracy studies are needed to accurately gauge the diagnostic accuracy of TBP. PMID: 33369727 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
