TL;DR Summary

Dermatologists at Oregon Health and Science University have been awarded a Guinness World Record for detecting the smallest ever skin cancer, measuring just 0.65mm. The cancer was found on patient Christy Staats' cheek after she sought advice over a separate mark. State-of-the-art scanning devices flagged atypical cells around the lesion, a tell-tale sign of melanoma. Catching this skin cancer so early meant the melanoma was tiny, earning the team the Guinness World Record for the 'Smallest Detected Skin Cancer.'
