I have a suspicious skin lesion and want to understand the diagnostic process for melanoma. What is considered the 'gold standard' for confirming a melanoma diagnosis, and what is an example of a non-invasive diagnostic test mentioned on the website? Also, what are the two genes the non-invasive test looks for?
Navigate to 'curemelanoma.org'. Click on the 'About Melanoma' link. Click on the 'Diagnosing Melanoma' link under 'Screening & Diagnosis'. Identify the 'gold standard' for determining if a suspicious mole is cancerous. Identify an example of a non-invasive test and the two genes it looks for. Synthesize the gathered information to answer the task.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Confirming Your Diagnosis of Melanoma Skin Cancer' page. The agent states that the 'gold standard' for determining if a suspicious mole is cancerous is a 'biopsy with thorough pathological examination'. The agent identifies the 'DermTech Melanoma Test (DMT)' as an example of a non-invasive test. The agent states that the DermTech Melanoma Test looks for RNA expression of two genes: 'PRAME' and 'LINC00518'.
