The Melanoma Epidemic: Real or Illusory
In 2023, the United States Preventive Services Task Force determined there was insufficient evidence to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for melanoma using a whole-body skin examination in the primary care setting in part due to the lack of randomized controlled studies.

On a practical level, there are not enough dermatologists in the country to screen all American adults for skin cancer.
