Strunck JL, et al. - In this retrospective natural experiment of 1,955 individuals who survived at least 6 months after receiving total body photography (TBP), researchers tested the assumption that surveillance with TBP would result in earlier detection of melanomas, which may have survival implications. For this investigation, they contrasted the melanoma diagnoses and overall survival of 1,253 patients with any follow-up visits (median, three visits; range, 1–18) and 702 patients with no follow-up visits. Greater overall survival was significantly linked to having one or more follow-up visits after TBP and having more than 100 nevi in multivariable analyses. Findings suggested a significant association of worse overall survival with increasing age and male sex. Consequently, TBP monitoring was related to subsequent melanoma diagnoses of lower stage and depth and greater overall survival.
