FAQ:
Q: What is a certified dermatology Tech?
A: Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume. The Association of Certified Dermatology Techs (ACDT) was established in 2012 to provide education and certification to those working in the supportive roles of clinical dermatology. In the past, the role of “dermatology nurse” was traditionally filled by Registered Nurses (RNs).
Q: What is the dermtech melanoma test?
A: An adhesive painlessly lifts skin cells off your mole — no need for a scalpel. The sticker is pressed on the mole, then quickly lifted off, carrying your skin’s RNA material with it. Now we can see beyond a biopsy with a more accurate, non-invasive test: the DermTech Melanoma Test (Pigmented Lesion Assay / PLA). This isn’t just a new test.
Q: How does the dermtech gene lab work?
A: Your sample arrives at our high complexity gene lab where we will look for markers at a level 10,000 times closer than the traditional biopsy care pathway. At the Gene Lab, a DermTech patented process tests your sample for expression levels of two specific genes associated with melanoma, named PRAME and LINC00518.
Q: What is new in melanoma detection technology?
A: This is revolutionary new technology. Traditional melanoma detection methods are visual. Doctors use their eyes — aided by a microscope — to see physical changes to a mole, and the cells within it.
