LOINC description : The protocol developed by Quereux et al. (2010) includes a self administered questionnaire
that captures the main skin cancer risk factors, such as skin type, presence of freckles
and moles, occurrence of blistering sunburns and personal and family history of melanoma.
After the respondent completes the questionnaire, the physician then examines the
respondent regarding the number of nevi, freckling tendency, and phototype (hair and
eye color, complexion and tanning ability). Then the physician checks the answers
provided by the respondent and completes the questionnaire. Questions 1-3 of the questionnaire
for self-assessment of melanoma risk factors have been deleted. These questions asked
the respondent's age, gender, and occupation. The PhenX Skin, Bone, Muscle and Joint
Working Group (WG) recommends that this information be obtained via the PhenX measures
titled Current Age, Gender, and Current Employment Status, respectively. The Working
Group recommends that as an alternative to a physician, a trained technician can conduct
the physical examination.;
