Smart algorithms will soon diagnose skin cancer, dermatologists consult
patients online, and 3D printers will print out synthetic skin to fight
tissue shortages. There is a lot going on in dermatology, and medical
professionals should prepare in time for the technological changes before
they start swiping through the specialty. Amazing technologies changing the
future of dermatology!According to statistics from the WHO, currently, some 1.5 million
non-melanoma skin cancers and 325,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally
each year. Data from the US Skin Cancer Foundation suggests that each year
over 5.4 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are treated in more than
3.3 million people only in the US. The annual cost of treating skin cancers
there is estimated at $8.1 billion: about $4.8 billion for non-melanoma
skin cancers and $3.3 billion for melanoma, which is an insanely huge
number. And what is even scarier? For example, the fact that according to
the estimations, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the
course of a lifetime.
