Is Your Mole Cancerous?
你的痣癌变了吗？

皮肤镜检查是一种非侵入性诊断技术，它可以放大皮肤，使上层皮肤（表皮、真皮表皮交界处和真皮乳头）的顶层、中层和底层的颜色和结构变得可见。

这种颜色和结构是肉眼看不到的。

与仅通过临床检查相比，皮肤镜检查可显着提高皮肤病变的临床诊断率，并且黑色素瘤的诊断率提高 30%。

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that magnifies the skin in such a way that the colour and structure of the top, middle and lower layers of the upper skin (epidermis, dermoepidermal junction and papillary dermis) becomes visible.

This colour and structure cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Dermoscopy has been shown to significantly increase the clinical diagnosis of skin lesions and with a 30% improvement of diagnosis of melanoma compared to that achieved by clinical examination alone.

早期发现黑色素瘤、基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞癌可降低发病率和死亡率，从而改善恶性皮肤肿瘤的预后。皮肤镜检查的典型应用是早期发现黑色素瘤。

皮肤镜检查也用于诊断其他类型的皮肤肿瘤，如基底细胞癌、鳞状细胞癌、圆柱瘤、皮肤纤维瘤、血管瘤、脂溢性角化病等。

它也用于疥疮和阴虱的诊断。这是通过用印度墨水染色皮肤来实现的。皮肤镜可以帮助确定螨虫在洞穴中的位置，从而有助于刮除结痂洞穴。皮肤镜可以放大非常小、难以看到的阴虱，从而实现快速准确的诊断和治疗。

医生可以切除可疑痣进行活检和组织学检查。

Early detection of a melanoma, basal-cell carcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma decreases morbidity and mortality, and therefore result in better prognosis of malignant skin tumours. The typical application of dermoscopy is early detection of melanoma.

Dermoscopy is also use to diagnose other types of skin tumours such as basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, cylindromas, dermatofibromas, angiomas, seborrheic keratosis etc.

It is also used in the diagnosis of scabies and pubic louse. This is achieved by staining the skin with India ink. A dermatoscope can help identify the location of the mite in the burrow, facilitating scraping of the scabetic burrow. The dermatoscope can magnify the very small, difficult to see pubic louse, allowing fast and accurate diagnosis and hence, the treatment.

Suspicious moles can be excised by a doctor for biopsy and histology.

在疣的治疗中，皮肤镜允许医生观察疣的结构并将其与玉米、老茧、外伤或异物区分开来。在治疗的后期检查疣，防止过早停止治疗，因为疣的微观结构可以用皮肤镜检查来跟踪，以确保疣病变是否完全治愈。

头发和头皮的皮肤镜检查称为毛发镜检查。它可以帮助区分头癣（真菌性头皮感染）和斑秃的“黑点”。

In the treatment of warts, the dermatoscope allows a physician to visualize the structure of a wart and to distinguish it from corn, callouses, trauma, or foreign bodies. Examining warts at later stages of treatment, prevents premature cessation of therapy as the micro-structures of the warts can be follow-up with dermoscopy to ensure if the warts lesion is completely cured.

Dermoscopy of hair and scalp is called trichoscopy. It can help to differentiate the "black dot" of tinea capitis (fungal scalp infection) from alopecia areata.

Mina Bissell: Experiments that point to a new understanding of cancer

For decades, researcher Mina Bissell pursued a revolutionary idea -- that a cancer cell doesn't automatically become a tumor, but rather, depends on surrounding cells (its microenvironment) for cues on how to develop. She shares the two key experiments that proved the prevailing wisdom about cancer growth was wrong.
