Dr. Roger A. Dailey discussed at Hawaiian Eye 2024 that the world of melanoma has undergone significant changes in recent years, with more changes to come. The increase in melanoma cases is likely due to increased awareness and diagnosis. Policy changes in the U.S. have aimed at prevention, and more than 20 states have banned indoor tanning by individuals aged younger than 18 years. Diagnosis and treatment for melanoma have also evolved, with an emphasis on early detection and noninvasive tools, as well as the introduction of smartphone-based dermoscopy. Dr. Dailey emphasized that there is hope on the horizon for the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
