What TBM includes
Total Body Mapping combines standardized full-body photography with targeted dermoscopic images of selected lesions.
Clinical value
By comparing images from follow-up visits, clinicians can identify:
- lesions that remain stable,
- lesions that change over time,
- newly appearing lesions that need further evaluation.
Who benefits most
TBM is particularly useful in patients with numerous nevi, light phototype skin, family history of melanoma, or a history of intensive UV exposure.
Follow-up approach
Mapping is not a one-time diagnosis. It is a monitoring framework that improves consistency and supports evidence-based follow-up planning.
