Dr. Ostad speaks about detecting melanoma

"...Dr. Ostad says, 'It is the leading cause of death between 18 and 29. By seeing a dermatologist on an annual basis you can actually detect melanomas earlier and catch them at an earlier stage and save lives. The flaw with the study is that if you wait that long to see the dermatologist you could potentially die of a melanoma much earlier, before you reach 50 years old.'"
