Multidisciplinary management of primary melanoma | 56 min 1

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, 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
• what is involved in a wide local excision.

In addition, the panel reviews two case studies to put learnings into practice.

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