Screening for Melanoma
September 5, 2011 (Issue: 1372)

Task Force (USPSTF) has found the evidence insufficient

for melanoma and other skin cancers.
The Medical Letter is a subscriber-funded nonprofit organization that publishes critical appraisals of new prescription drugs and comparative reviews of drugs for common diseases.
