DermTech is a revolutionary company based in San Diego, CA that has developed a non-invasive and highly accurate test for melanoma, called the DermTech Melanoma Test. By using a specialized smart sticker, the test gently lifts skin cells off the surface of a mole, allowing doctors to analyze the genomic material and detect markers that indicate the likelihood of disease. This groundbreaking technology, known as Precision Dermatology, provides objective and reliable results, without the need for painful biopsies or cutting.
With the DermTech Melanoma Test, early detection of melanoma is possible, increasing the chances of successful treatment. By detecting changes in the skin's RNA and DNA, the test can catch melanoma at the gene level, 10,000 times closer than a microscope. The company's patented process tests for the presence of specific genes and DNA mutations associated with melanoma, providing doctors with a greater than 99% probability of ruling out melanoma if the test result is negative. DermTech's innovative approach to melanoma detection is transforming the way doctors diagnose and treat this deadly disease.
