The negative predictive value is the probability a person with a negative test result does not have the disease.
Sensitivity is the proportion of people with the disease who test positive.

Specificity is the proportion of people without disease who test negative.

The DermTech Melanoma Test is a non-invasive genomic test utilizing DermTech Smart Stickers® to assess equivocal melanocytic lesions meeting one or more of the ABCDE criteria. It detects genomic markers associated with melanoma to distinguish benign from higher risk lesions.1

The DermTech Melanoma Test has a 99% negative predictive value (NPV), meaning that with a negative test result, there is a 99% probability that the lesion is not melanoma.

Recommended Use

Many early-stage melanomas resemble benign nevi.3,4

Clinical visual assessment is by nature subjective and presents challenges in the management of equivocal pigmented lesions. What is seen as clearly benign or clearly melanoma may vary by clinician.

The DermTech Melanoma Test reliably rules out melanoma with a 99% NPV and provides objective, actionable, easy to interpret results to guide the management of clinically equivocal pigmented lesions.

Q

Genomic changes drive disease progression. The absence of gene expression by optimized melanoma associated genomic markers LINC00518 and PRAME can give a provider confidence in ruling out melanoma. The DermTech Melanoma Test’s has a 99% negative predictive value, meaning there is a 99% probability that a negative lesion is not melanoma.
