Episode description
Summer is here and many of us are getting out of the house. With our attraction to sunlight rising, so does our risk for melanoma. Today’s guest on “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett,” Dr. John Dobak, says while melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, the process of diagnosing it hasn’t kept up with technology. His company, DermTech, uses precision genomics not only for diagnosing the disease, but keeping patients away from unnecessary surgeries. How do they do it? By putting a high-tech sticker to cover the affected area and that sample gets sent to the lab for further analysis. Hear how it works, his personal motivation for starting DermTech, and what you can do to keep your skin healthy while out in the sun.
