"I noticed this very tiny speckle, and so that's when we applied the confocal microscope, the virtual biopsy, and that tool allowed me to see down to one cell and one nucleus," Witkowski said. "So what I saw were very clear, distinct, atypical cells that are associated with melanoma skin cancer." Staats was diagnosed with Stage 0 melanoma in July 2021. Because the cancer was caught so quickly, Staats was able to have all of it removed and did not have to undergo any further treatment.Courtesy of Oregon Health & Science University
