Guinness World Records Confirms OHSU Found Smallest Cancer

(Portland, OR) -- Guinness World Records has recognized doctors at Oregon Health & Science University for finding the world's smallest skin cancer. The patient came in to have a spot on her face checked. It turned out to be fine, but the doctor saw another spot that was barely visible to the human eye. Using special imaging tools they determined the spot was a melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. A biopsy confirmed the cancer which was caught before it could spread. They say it shows the importance of early detection of skin cancer.
