The poor accuracy of the clinical examination of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs) is a major limitation of secondary prevention strategies for cutaneous melanoma (CMM). In the last few years, the epiluminescence microscopy (ELM) technique has been used increasingly as an adjunct to clinical examination in the dermatology practice. Although the question of training has emerged as a priority, the diffusion, the effects, and the correlates of educational programmes in ELM have seldom been studied.

Abstract
The poor accuracy of the clinical examination of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs) is a major limitation of secondary prevention strategies for cutaneous melanoma (CMM). In the last few years, the epiluminescence microscopy (ELM) technique has been used increasingly as an adjunct to clinical examination in the dermatology practice. Although the question of training has emerged as a priority, the diffusion, the effects, and the correlates of educational programmes in ELM have seldom been studied.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
