MoleMate might just save your life!

”Over the past 6 years I have had over 240 moles removed by biopsy”, wrote Karen Loder of Niagara Falls, New York. “Yes, I said 240!! Ninety-nine percent of my moles have come back abnormal. Most of them are mild to moderately atypical, some are severe. Moderately atypical ones are re-shaved to make sure all the pigment is removed. The severe ones are excised. Sadly, the ones that are mild are never watched or biopsied again because I probably have more than 300 moles remaining and we are looking for more abnormal ones. Also, my dermatologist doesn’t have the means or technology to keep track of the mild ones”, Karen said.

”I am seeing her soon for my quarterly visit and want to talk to her about MoleMate technology”, says Loder. “My dermatologist removes 5 or 6 moles at each visit and after going home I always wonder if we chosen the ‘right’ ones. It is easy to overlook some moles on my body because I have so many”, said Loder.

“I had tears when I read the information about MoleMate. I feel like I’m a ticking time bomb and it’s not good”, says Karen Loder. “I am very excited to talk to my doctor about this.  I believe her schedule could be greatly relieved with the use of this machine.  She is one of the very few dermatologists in Western New York who dedicate most of their time to melanoma detection.  Needless to say she is very busy and is ALWAYS running behind schedule, sometimes by an hour and a half” Karen said.

Any skin care professional will tell you that early diagnosis is key to successfully surviving skin cancer. In order to treat skin cancer successfully, you must find it early. And to do that, you and your doctor need to play a dual role in making an early skin cancer diagnosis.

You should do self-examination to check for skin cancer about once every month, ideally have a complete examination by a doctor every one to two years.

You should also talk to other doctors about your skin cancer risk, not just your dermatologist. Melanomas can occur in places that are hard to see. If you have any family history of melanoma, you should tell your gynecologist, dentist, and eye doctor so they can do special exams to look for melanoma.

A skin cancer exam also involves sharing your family medical history. Tell your doctor about any family history of skin cancer and about how much sun exposure you have had over the years. Some risk factors your doctor will want to know about include frequent sunburns as a child and any occupational exposure to pitch, coal tar, arsenic, creosote, or radium.

Tell your doctor about the results of your most recent self-examination, and compare results to old exams. Also be sure to ask your doctor about any new skin growths and any changes in old skin growths, and if your doctor hasn’t heard of MoleMate take this blog along with you to the doctor’s office.

About SIMSYS-MoleMate
The FDA approved SIMSYS-MoleMate Skin Imaging System, a non-invasive skin cancer screening procedure, is a significant advance in the early detection of potentially life threatening moles and lesions.

Physicians have found the SIMSYS-MoleMate Siascope hand-held device easy to learn and use, and that it rapidly provides accurate images of the pigment, blood, and collagen below the mole or lesion.

Now, for the first time, physicians can more accurately evaluate suspicious moles and lesions in a non-invasive, pain-free way. Experts also believe it may reduce the need for time consuming and expensive biopsies.
