Surgical and systemic updates in melanoma | 3 hr 7 min 1

In these engaging recorded presentations from the Northern Rivers Melanoma Specialists’ Update, our multidisciplinary experts explore how wide local excision, sentinel node biopsy, and neoadjuvant therapy are reshaping melanoma care.

With insights from key trials and practical implications across disciplines, this session supports co-ordinated, contemporary management for all clinicians involved in melanoma treatment.

The final video is a multidisciplinary case study panel discussion featuring all speakers.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
- Describe the current role of wide local excision and margin selection in the surgical management of melanoma.
- Explain the indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy and its implications for staging, prognosis, and treatment access.
- Summarise the evidence supporting neo-adjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy in resectable stage III melanoma.
- Interpret key findings from recent trials (e.g. MSLT-2, SWOG S1801, NADINA) and their relevance to clinical decision-making.
- Collaborate effectively across disciplines to optimise timing of referral, treatment sequencing, and shared care planning.
