2. Figure 1
Mean and 95% confidence interval of the Breslow tumor thickness for melanomas detected during follow-up by the different indicated examination techniques (P=0.591; Kruskal–Wallis test).The measures depicted in this graph were log-transformed (in contrast to the “in text” measures). Two invasive melanomas were detected by the patients' apprehension, without a suspicion by the other examination techniques (observed values shown); five invasive melanomas were detected by ELM criteria alone; nine invasive melanomas were detected by ELM criteria and also showed changes over time documented by DELM; nine invasive melanomas were exclusively detected by the comparison of DELM images with baseline images (DELM criteria alone).
