Cancers of the skin are the most common forms of cancer in men and women, and account for nearly half of all malignancies. In 2009, more than 1 million cases were expected in the United States. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), two types of nonmelanomatous lesions associated with aging and sun exposure, are responsible for more than 800,000 cases per year. Recent studies have also linked nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) to prior cancer therapy, especially radiation therapy. While NMSC is rarely lethal, these lesions are associated with other malignancies (including hematologic and respiratory tract cancers). In contrast, melanoma accounts for approximately 4 percent of all skin cancer cases, but causes the majority of skin cancer deaths. One study found that melanoma incidence rates had doubled in all socioeconomic groups over a 10-year period. Another study found that melanoma incidence rates have increased by 3 percent per year in white Hispanic and white non-Hispanic populations, and both white Hispanic and Black populations had more advanced disease at presentation. Melanoma is associated with significant morbidity, and late stage melanoma with significant mortality due to the likelihood of metastatic spread. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to reducing rates of morbidity and mortality of all skin cancers. However, suboptimal diagnostic accuracy of current methods of lesion assessment (such as visual inspection) may lead to misleading false positives or conversely missed diagnoses, and the existing protocol of excisional biopsy of suspected lesions is an invasive, costly, and time-intensive procedure. Newer noninvasive screening and diagnostic modalities are available that may provide more precise imaging of suspected lesions and more accurate detection, thereby improving in vivo diagnosis. These newer technologies may, therefore, assist with earlier detection, eliminate unnecessary biopsies, and reduce costs and patient time spent in the physician's office. Several groups in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand have developed guidelines for the screening and prevention of skin cancer. According to a 2009 Guideline Synthesis, while there is general agreement that there is insufficient evidence to support screening of the general population for skin cancer, increased surveillance for individuals at higher risk is generally recommended. The objectives of this technical brief are to provide a description of the state of the science of noninvasive imaging modalities in diagnosing cancerous tumors of the skin, proffer an analytic framework for assessing the applications of the devices, provide a summary of ongoing research, and to delineate future research needs. Three principal forms of skin cancer will be considered: basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the more prevalent forms of skin cancer, and melanoma, among the most virulent. While the focus of this brief will be on modalities currently in general or limited clinical use and/or FDA approved or cleared, we also will consider investigational technologies based on available data and input from our key informants particularly the potential importance of these technologies and where they might fit into the care process.

This report, which was developed by an expert committee of the Institute of Medicine, reviews the first three services listed above. It is intended to assist policymakers by providing syntheses of the best evidence available about the effectiveness of these services and by estimating the cost to Medicare of covering them. For each service or condition examined, the committee commissioned a review of the scientific literature that was presented and discussed at a public workshop. As requested by Congress, this report includes explicit estimates only of costs to Medicare, not costs to beneficiaries, their families, or others. It also does not include cost-effectiveness analyses. That is, the extent of the benefits relative to the costs to Medicareâ€"or to society generallyâ€"is not evaluated for the services examined. The method for estimating Medicare costs follows the generic estimation practices of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The objective was to provide Congress with estimates that were based on familiar procedures and could be compared readily with earlier and later CBO estimates. For each condition or service, the estimates are intended to suggest the order of magnitude of the costs to Medicare of extending coverage, but the estimates could be considerably higher or lower than what Medicare might actually spend were coverage policies changed. The estimates cover the five-year period 2000-2004. In addition to the conclusions about specific coverage issues, the report examines some broader concerns about the processes for making coverage decisions and about the research and organizational infrastructure for these decisions. It also briefly examines the limits of coverage as a means of improving health services and outcomes and the limits of evidence as a means of resolving policy and ethical questions.
