the images come up on the screen that will show how deep it goes into the skin, the parameters of it, and gives me extra information and then a score of high or low. yours came back low, which is what i would hope. that s really great news. even if it comes back high, that grade will give me more information about how deep it goes, whether or not it needs to be removed, and even how much of a margin i should take. so with this, i have been able to prioritize around the lesions that i decide to remove to either remove them or not remove them. gretchen: there was my mole right there. exactly. low disorganization. that means it s more of a typical benign lesion that we can continue to watch. if i have a level of suspicion, i ll still remove it. it s giving me more information, not deciding for me. the sad news is nearly 40% of people don t even think they re at risk of skin cancer. three out of four people don t get skin cancer screenings.
that makes sense. skincancer.org, right there. that s right. in the month of may, which is skin cancer awareness month, the american academy of dermatology has melanomamonday.org. so skincancer.org and melanomamonday.org. they have a ton of information. and also i want to say in the sunny months of the year, the skin cancer foundation has the road to healthy skin tour which travels around the country giving free skin cancer screenings. lock for that at skincancer.org. that s great advice. dr. jessica crant, thank you for joining us. the oil tree industry is sa have made over a trillion dollars. now there is a move afoot on capitol hill to end them. that s next.
