Confidently rule out melanoma with the DermTech Melanoma Test® 1

What does it do?

The DermTech Melanoma Test® non-invasively detects genomic markers associated with melanoma to aid dermatologists in biopsy decisions.2,3

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.

How does it work?

  • DermTech Smart Stickers® painlessly collect skin cells from the entire surface of the lesion from which RNA is extracted for genomic analysis4
  • Cellular material is preserved for shipment to the DermTech 2.0 Lab
  • The test measures the melanoma associated genomic markers LINC00518 and PRAME through RNA gene expression.1,2
