  • Some physicians consider in situ carcinomas early stage cancers, and others consider them precancers. I don't really get the idea of a cancer that is in situ, or in place. whenever I think of cancer, I think of invasive, spreading cells. I have heard alot of physicians call in situ carcinomas severe dysplasia.

  • For many years the ridiculous debate raged: Is this CIS or is this "severe" dysplasia? Now, most of the real smart guys will tell you, "Who cares?"

  • I have been diagnosing these mini-melanomas more often after learned to recognize those thicker and blacker lines on dermatoscopy. the newer lens are far better than those old ones when you could have been found by your secretary on indecent positions with the patients in the examination room :). the value of this vid is immense, congrats and post more!

  • Thank you very much that u posted this. U helped a lot of physicians to diagnose early th MM! Danke!

  • I love these videos.

  • THANK You. having just finished histology in med school, im getting ready for pathology this coming year. and its great to see that youre still here to HELP me.!

  • Buck shot, that's the same as pagetoid spread right? I had a melanoma in situ, but i had minimal pagetoid spread with pockets of regression.

  • and I would agree with their approach completely. If it appeared the least bit to be cancer I would treat it as such, that stuff is nothing to mess around with. One minute it might be "behaving" and remaining in place, and then the next DR visit it could be a full grown invasive cancer and possibly even metastatic. I certainly do not regard cancer lightly at all.

  • I thought it was very informative! Thank you.

  • Having just been diagnosed with melanoma in situ, this video was very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put it up for all of us.
