全皮肤检查(FSE)是诊断皮肤恶性肿瘤的重要实践。正是FSE所需要的,然而,关于隐蔽现场检查(CSE),特别是敏感部位,包括肛门生殖器区域,乳房,头皮和口腔粘膜,仍未阐明。虽然这些部位的皮肤癌发病率很低,预后不良。关于包含CSE的FSE建议采用标准化方法,以提供:优化和统一的患者护理方法,对常规执行FSE的临床医生的指导,这样做是为了合法地保护他们。本文分析了与此问题相关的医学法律问题。
Full skin examination (FSE) is a vital practice in the diagnosis of cutaneous malignancy. Precisely what the FSE entails, however, with respect to concealed site examination (CSE), in particular sensitive sites including the anogenital region, breasts, scalp and oral mucosa, remains poorly elucidated. While the incidence of skin cancer at these sites is low, it carries a poor prognosis. A standardised approach is proposed to FSE with respect to inclusion of CSE to provide: an optimised and uniform approach to patient care, guidance to clinicians performing FSE routinely, and in doing so to protect them medico legally. This article analyses the medico-legal issues pertinent to this issue.
