[Multi-diagnosis of pigmented skin neoplasms]

A complex examination by radio-isotope (32P) and thermographic methods was carried out in 252 patients, 122 patients underwent surgery. The complex diagnostic study established the following three groups: test-positive, test-negative and test-suspected patients. Application of the complex (radioisotope and thermographic) examination technique provides a more adequate visualization of tumor process and, therefore, a better opportunity for selection of correct treatment. The application of the thermographic method is recommended for screening for subjects at high risk of malignant disease of the skin.
