Multidisciplinary management of primary melanoma

Melanoma has many mimics, making detection a challenge. However, early detection and appropriate management of melanoma is crucial to ensuring a patient has the best chance of survival.

In this podcast from Melanoma Institute Australia, our multidisciplinary panel discuss:

• the clinical presentation of melanoma
• tips to help make a clinical diagnosis
• understanding the histological features for diagnosis
• how to know when to biopsy
• which biopsy is best
• ramifications of subtotal biopsies
• who requires a sentinel node assessment and what does that involve

In addition, the panel reviews a case study to put learnings into practice.

This podcast is suitable for Dermatologists, Skin Cancer GPs, GPs, Surgeons, Nurses and other healthcare professionals.
