PREVALENCE OF MALIGNANT MELANOMA AND OF OTHER MALIGNANT AND NON-MALIGNANT UV-INDUCED SKIN LESIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF OCCUPATIONAL OR SEASONAL SUN EXPOSURE IN VÂLCEA COUNTY

Summary

The article below is a brief review of several cases of malignant and non-malignant UV-induced skin lesions, which reached the dermato-venerology practice established in Râmnicu-vâlcea by means of funding obtained within the project Sustainable Entrepreneurship in South-West Oltenia Region. Thanks to the obtained funding, a videodermoscopy device was purchased, with the help of which the screening of both benign and malignant melanocytic lesions is performed. Through this approach (purchase of a videodermoscopy device), patients’ access to computerized, efficient, standardized screening, supported by the latest technological innovations, is streamlined.
