Dermatologic Follow-up and Assessment of Suspicious Lesions

As our knowledge and understanding of melanoma evolve, melanoma surveillance guidelines will reflect these findings. Currently, there is no consensus across international guidelines for melanoma follow-up. However, it is accepted that more aggressive surveillance is recommended for more advanced disease. When examining high-risk individuals, a systematic approach should be followed. Future considerations include the use of noninvasive imaging techniques, 'liquid biopsies,' and artificial intelligence to enhance detection of melanomas.
