The evolving paradigm shift in melanoma | 45 min 1

The field of melanoma has experienced a paradigm shift in recent years, with advancements in both diagnosis and management driving improved patient outcomes. Through the power of research, day-to-day practice continues to be transformed.

In this lively podcast, two of Australia’s leading melanoma experts Prof Richard Scolyer AO and Prof Georgina Long AO discuss:

• how melanoma management has transformed in the last decade
• the challenge of diagnosing melanoma for clinicians and pathologists, and practical ways to help make accurate assessments
• the importance of staging
• why sentinel node biopsies are important
• how multidisciplinary care enhances patient outcomes
• emerging evidence on neoadjuvant treatment and how this will change the way melanoma is managed
• the challenge of supportive care and where to find help.
