[Experience in the screening of melanoma].
Melanoma is theoretically an ideal model for prevention campaigns. However a detailed analysis of this model shows that we do not yet have reliable tools to identify the high risk population and that prevention campaigns have a limited impact. However, any campaign which can increase the notoriety of melanoma in the public can probably improve early diagnosis. Detailed evaluation of messages and cost-effectiveness ratio of campaigns is needed.
