Atypical melanocytic proliferation on sensitive preauricular check
Jun 2023
Histopathological assessment of a melanocytic lesion on the check could not definitively rule out melanoma leading to the use of GEP prior to determining surgical management.
Abnormally pigmented lesion with uncertain malignant potential
Jun 2023
With benign GEP results, dermatopathologist adjusts diagnosis to a benign neoplasm and patient avoids re-excision.
Clinical use of a diagnostic gene expression signature for melanocytic neoplasms
May 2021
Patients managed in accordance with a benign 23-GEP result, including forgoing re-excision, reported no adverse events during the follow-up period.
